I am interested in knowing where the name "Pyrtle" originated from. My family lives in Texas and some migrated to California, but it would be wonderful to know where other "Pyrtles" are living.

I'm also interested in some background on the Pyrtle name. I was born in California, but my father (Gordon) was born in Detroit, MI in 1930. His father was also named Gordon, but I don't know much more than that. Any leads would be appreciated.

Where are the Pyrtle's?

Yep, I am one of the Pyrtle's from NC. I was born in Burlington but I am currently living in Anaheim, CA. My parents still live in NC and both of their parents are from NC. I've tried researching the origin of Pyrtle but everyone in my family (as far back as i can trace) is from NC. Does anyone know more about the origin of the surname pyrtle? I spoke with my father about it and he was told that the Pyrtle is Irish. Can anyone back this up? Thanks!
