news:e84xj.6930$w94.3092@pd7urf2no... Rene wrote: What would be the origin of the surname "Crabtree" ("Goodmowning!")? A tree filled with crabs would be utter nonsense, a tree having a bad mood is quite ridiculous as well... Yours sincerely, Rene Ah, yes, that probably comes from the crab apple which grows on trees. Small bitter tasting apples. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_apple I think You are right, the "crab tree" is even mentioned in the article. I had searched for "crabtree" and had not found this background of that name, however, no I know that originally these were two different words. Thanks for Your information! Yours sincerely, Rene
