Has anyone information regarding the name Meherrin being spelled as Herrin or Herring? I just realized that the Herrins were a line of Shifletts and the name was spelled several ways, and that Herring or Herrin could be an adulteration of Meherrin.

Any ideas?

I’ll be at the Meherrin pow wow in a few weeks. I’ll try and remember to ask around.

Herrin is actually a known Roma name especially in South Carolina.

What do you mean by Roma? Gypsy?
