LAMBE Family History
This name, with variant spelling Lamb, has three possible origins, the first being a metonymic occupational name for a keeper of Lambs deriving from the Old English pre 7th Century "lamb" meaning "lamb". Alternatively, Lamb may have originated as a nickname for a gentle, inoffensive person, or it may have been given as a pet form of the Medieval English personal name Lambert, from the Old German elements "land", territory, plus "berht", bright. The surname was first recorded towards the end of the 12th Century, (see below). One William le Lambe appears in "The Hundred Rolls of Cambridgeshire", dated 1273, and a Lambe de Harewude in the Manorial Records of Sheffield, Yorkshire, (1290)...Select Audience

Lambe
I'm not even sure my family IS from Ireland, but I'd like it to be true. I have been told by my Father and Uncle that we are from Nancy France, and research has shown that to be true. I traced my Father's lineage to there, where my great Grandfather was born in 1866. However, lamb is not a French word and no sources find there was a French family by that name. My suspicion is that at some point, my ancestors left Ireland or England to go to France, and from there to North America. France does not have a record of my great Grandfather and neither does the U.S. Can anyone tell me how to find out more?
