SURNAME ORIGINS:

CARLAW:

This interesting surname is a locational name from Carlaw in Scotland, deriving from the old  English pre 7th Century "carr" meaning "rock" plus "hlaw" "hill", "burial mound". The surname  dates back to the early 17th Century, (see below). Variations in the idiom of the spelling include  Carlo, Carloe, Carlow, Carlew, etc.. One Charles Carloo married Isabella Smith on August 22nd 1683  at St. Marylebone, St. Mary Street, Marylebone Road, London. William Carlaw was christened on  November 19th 1704 in Edinburgh. One Robert Carlaw married Janet Boyd in Edinburgh on September  9th 1715, and Elizabeth, daughter of William and Mary Carlaw, was christened at Swallow Street,  Scotch Church, Westminster, on January 13th 1797. One Edward Carlow is recorded in the Death  Register in Virginia in 1624. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that  of Susan Carlew married William Webb, which was dated 1638 - St. Mary Magdalene, Old Fish Street,  London. during the reign of King Charles 1, "The Martyr", 1625 - 1648. Surnames became necessary  when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout  the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing  variants of the original spelling.

PUNCH:
 Recorded as Punch, Punchard, Punche, and Puncher, this is an English surname, but one which is  almost certainly of medieval French origins. It has several possible origins of which the most  probable would seem to be from the word "poynte" itself a derivative of the French word "pointe",  introduced by the Normans after the conquest of England in 1066. If this is the case then the name  is occupational for a maker of pointe, a twisted cord made of yarn, silk, or even leather, and used  in the clothing trade for fastening hose and doublet together. However it may also  describe "pointing", a term used in the building and construction trade. This occurs when bricks,  tiles, or slates, were "pointed" with mortar to prevent water from entering. A third possibility is  that the name is a derivative of the Olde French word "ponz" itself from the Latin pontius, and  describing either a person from Pontus in Asia Minor, or perhaps more logically one who lived by a  pontes or bridge. The name where it occurs with the agent suffix "-er" would suggest that it refers  to one who lived or worked on a bridge. We have found no evidence to suggest with this name any  connection with "cow punchers", a term used in the Wild West for a cowboy. The first known  recording is probably that of Walterus Poinz in the Domeday Book for England in 1086 in the county  of Berkshire, Godfrey Punch in the Pipe Rolls of the city of London in 1181, Robert Puncard of  Oxford in 1230, and John Puncare in the assize rolls of Somerset in 1243
