Susannah Mahala or any Mahala surnames

Chris Sluder Taylor — 22 Nov 1999 9:56:44 GMT

I am trying to connect several folks with the surname of Mahala. I have not been able to get a good line on this name. There are several Mahala descendents that still live in Ashe Co. (Creston) NC. I have not been able to connect Susannah Mahala to these folks. Susannah Mahala m. John Sluder (marriage may have been in Rowan or Buncombe Co. NC) They are shown in Ashe Co. 1850 Census with the correct children and correct ages. Any info on any Mahala line would be helpful. There are very few with this surname on the web. I will be happy to share what I have on this line.
Thanks,
Chris

The name Mahala

tina anderson (mahala) — 19 Mar 2001 1:44:29 GMT

Almost forgot--to mention, the word Mahala is a form of the Mahla, a 2-syllable girl's name of Hebrew origin, it means: Marrow; tenderness. Mahala, a 3-syllable girl's name of Hebrew origin, means: tenderness. It doesn't mean that its a Jewish name, it means that it more likely adopted by the Slavs as a name for a pasty, or thin person.

Mahala

CarolCantrell99 — 11 Mar 2006 1:29:27 GMT

Mahala seems to be a given name through out several of my fathers surname lines......those from Kentucky/WV/Va and some from the Carolinas...so was looking to see if such a surname existed......and it does......are any related to the Johnsons that married into the Trussell/Vance/Coleman and other related lines.....it seems to be a name given in these lines and usually somewhere back if found back far enough it started with a surname......as our Jilson Trussell does and Coleman Trussell......so wonder if any of the Mahala Johnsons go to the Jacob and Sarah Johnson family that had a daughter Elenor that married a Trussell whose daughter Lucinda married a Robert Vance.....name Mahala is strong in the Vance lines.....email me at clavonec@excite.com Thank you Carol Cantrell

I have recently married a "Mihalo" and am intersted in what will be our child's lineage. We know of no history of the name as the "elders" kept zero records. I am just curious as to the derivation(s) of the name. Thanks Marcey Mihalo
