 Irex
Latin

I know this was at one time a Genus of fish, until about 1870 (renamed).

This also appears as a Surname, Road name and House name!

Can anyone offer any thoughts, as to what esle Irex is (or was)?

(Just found this site today).....

But is Irex a first name? If it is, where did you find it?

Any information can help to find the origin and the meaning.

found here....

Most of these appear in 18/19th Suffolk, England.

However, this name also appears as the name of various ships/ boats, 19th/20th, and 18th? here they might be based upon the name of the fish but i consider it unlikely that those on land are related to the fish?

If Irex is a place name, I can't help you (I only have resources about first names), but I suggest you ask someone in the [url=http://www.snsbi.org.uk/]
Society for Name Studies in Britain and Ireland (S.N.S.B.I.)[/url] about Irex. Maybe they have some clue.

Good luck with your research.[/url]
