Arvai...Arvoy?
My surname is Arvoy, is this a variation of Arvai? I was once told that the names were changd when the immigrants arrived to americanize the names.
secondly, also I was told from a professor at the U. of Mich. that the name in hungarian ending with the spelling " ai" meant onewas from the lower nobility, the landed aristocracy.
My grandfather emigrated through Port Huron Mich, eventually to settle in Michigan
Can anyone help to clarify/varify/add to these three points.
thanks
