An example of one of the more significant and interesting spelling changes
is described at the CHIRIACKA spelling entry of the Aa ~ Ch & Cj ~ Cx
spellings page.
These pages list all probable, referenced or possible spellings of
the family surname - including those found to be unconnected to our
genealogy.
(ei)Ellis Island-1892~1924 - their search process returns a list of probable spelling alternatives THAT DO EXIST in their records when the spelling entered IS NOT FOUND - just enter a known and unused mispelling to see them. Multiplying the beginnings, middles and endings (24 x 6 x 30 x 2) arrives at a total of 8,640 possible combinations. (Some spellings have yet to be found as a surname for anyone. To date, about one-third of the 'manually generated' spellings beginning with C have been found to have ZERO references.) Within the past century in the United States, our SEER-E-AX
pronunciation produced SEER-IX and SEER-ICK offshoots - just in the state
of Minnesota. Given that the Cyriac surname dates back to at least
the 3rd century and presuming similar changes for past migrations into
new linquistic areas - PRODUCING MORE PRONUNCIATIONS IN EACH
SUCH AREA - the spelling possibilities expands into the tens of
thousands!! It's possible that Kirk and its numerous variations is
an offshoot of the
or, the 'apparently' completely arbitary change involved with 'KAYES':
