Yes my grandmother was a Myron and she came out from Dufton (hope I spelt that right) Scotland to New Zealand a long time ago, but she taught us that it was french to. As she was quite dark I always thought that it might have been northern France. I live in New Zealand.

Hello Ellen,

My name is James Myron. I'm researching my family. My great grandfather, Mike Myron, was born in 1855 in England to Irish parents. He emigrated to the USA in 1872 and settled near Akron, Ohio, USA. He married Margaret Mower (also spelled Mourn) had four children: Gilbert, John Patrick, William and Mary Ellen (Nellie). John Patrick is my grand father. He moved to Pittsburgh, PA and married Rose Ann Kelly. They had several children and many Myrons live in the Pittsburgh area.

I theorize that Mike Myron's parents were related to the Myrons in County Carlow in Ireland.

Re: Scotland is our homeland !

nickelroof — 2010-09-13 05:04:31Z

Hi Scot ,yes It is possible that the Myron Family has a branch in Norway ,Norway and Scotland have a close connection being close geographically ,to the best of my knowledge the name is a derivation of Miren and at some stage it changed when i dont know.The story in my Dads family is as follows ,when Mary Queen of Scots came over from France she had a retinue which included a troubadour with our name , this could explain why our family has a close connection with the musical arts,anyway this person settles in an area of Scotland called Dufftown and marries one of the Duff women and to this day there is a few Myrons in the area.Also are you aware we are descended fron Scottish royalty through this connection to James first of Scotland I did have some information about this but misplaced it ,will try and find it and post same ,however we are an family of no mean lineage so stand tall !!

Re: Myron surname

scottcmyron — 2010-09-13 02:01:07Z

Hello,

I am Scott Myron. My ancestors came to the USA from Norway, but I don't know beyond that.

I've heard several suggestions. Some say it is Norwegian; some say it is Jewish. Some say it is Scotish. Some say it is Russian.

I'm certain my heritage is traced to Norway and then the trail seems to end. It is appear there was a farming community in Norway where the Myron name was common.

Do you have any additional info?

Re: Scotland is our homeland !

scottcmyron — 2010-09-13 01:54:05Z

Hello from Scott C. Myron.

I'm told my Myron name is from Norway and records appear to back that up. I wonder if Scotland is the source previous to Norway. Do you have any info that might support this?

You will find some Myrons living in Fargo, North Dakota and in Sacramento California.

Thanks,

Scott Myron

Anyone have family in the myron tree by the names: Ezra, everett, Jacob, gladys or Benjamin ?

Re: Scotland is our homeland !

Myronmint — 2009-02-10 08:42:14Z

Interested to hear who your father was as I have many Myron connections from Dufftown.
My Great Grandmother was Mary Jane Myron who married Alexander Begg, an Auctioneer and Valuer in Dufftown.
You are probably familiar with this family of thirteen daughters, many who married Excise men who were stationed in the town of "seven stills".
The house where they lived was called Blinkbonny and Mary Jane Myron was known as Granny Begg.

Stephanie_Benoit_Ca — 2008-03-29 23:40:57Z

Without punctuation and capitalization, I am having a hard time understanding your post. Arthur is supposed to be an ancestor? Is that what you are saying? Or are you saying that you think your Hugh is related to just the Myrons in general?

Is your dad Hugh Wellyn Myron? And he is the son of Elias Ferdinand Myron or are you talking about a different Hugh?

Hello...
I'm wondering if your James Myron had any assocation with the Armstrong/Costigan family? I have a James Myron who was the godparent of Mary Isabelle Armstong in 1900 in St. John's, New Foundland.

Does this link to your family at all?

Myron's of Vermillion South Dakota

2006-11-10 21:43:47Z

I was reading the messages and noticed the name Severt Myron. My Great-Grandfather had a half-brother who's name was Severt, (Sivert). He also used the surname of Sand. I know nothing more of him, but have a picture of the family and he is on it. These Myron's are Norwegian. I would love to know if there is a connection.

Re: Where is the start?

2006-11-10 21:23:47Z

I am a Myron. AKA Myran, Myrand. Our family originated from the Rollag commune in Numedal, Norway. We have relatives in Norway and in the USA. My Great-grandfather immigrated to America in 1857. His name was Andreas, aka Anders, Andrew.

Myron surname

2006-09-17 22:17:52Z

Thanks Patrick Myron for insight into ancient history. Granted I would appreciate knowing how the Myrons, Myrins, Mirons etc.. ended up in Ireland ? Interestingly enough a local University Researcher here in Newfoundland suggested the name was of Russian origin. I kind of "fu-pawed" that, because I knew my ancestors came from County Carlow, Ireland.....(His grave stone states him to be a native of Kilcumney, County Carlow, Ireland. Likewise his wife Ann (nee Kinsella is native to Bagenalstown, County Carlow, Ireland.

Re: MYRON surname

2006-09-17 17:28:00Z

Interesting that you cite Myron as being Wexford, and close to Carlow and that many Myrons exist there today. My GrGrardfather comes from Carlow, circa 1830 to Newfoundland, as subsequently did his wife Ann Kinsella (my GrGrandmother.
While GGF spelt his name MIRON, as did one of his sons Thomas Miron. The other two sons James (my Grandfather ) and Patrick spelled the name MYRON. Records at Dunleckney(1821 and onwards) have Miron, Miren, Miran. Note a memorial at Ballyellin Cemetery, at Kilcumney state two natives killed by the military during the 1798 revolts, were Thomas Myran and Michael Myran..Can't seem to get any further back. i.e. who were GGF's parents. I know GGM Ann (Kinsella) Miron's parents were Patrick Kinsella and Catherine Barry.

Re: Different

smcmurphy_1 — 2005-11-14 00:18:32Z

My gggrandmother was Clara's sister Tilla. Their parents were Sverk Myran and Dina Davidson. They were both born in Norway. Sverk emigrated in 1871 and Dina in 1861.

Re: myron ancestry. where did it start?

2005-04-17 00:51:03Z

We are a Myron,( also spelled Miron), family here in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador(Canada). James Miron came from County Carlow,Ireland circa 1830. He had sons Thomas, Patrick, and James.
James Jr. had two sons Richard (my father) and Thomas(my uncle) who moved to the "Boston" states as a young man. He lived upstate New York, at Rhinebeck, and raised a big family with his wife Rose(nee Lake).
However I am not aware of an Arthur in the family

Re: MYRON name ancient

2005-04-17 00:38:16Z

My surname has shown various spellings as Myran, Miron, and Myron.
Here in St. John's, Newfoundland the family in fact uses both Myron and Miron. Church and State records switch back and forth between the two. My Greatgrandfather's gravestone spells Miron(he came out from Ireland, Co. Carlow circa 1830). My Grandfather's stone spells Myron. And in Ireland where Gr.GdFr came from I find only the spellings Myran and Myron.
Wondering if the Irish Myran's, Myron's, even Miron's are of the same Greek lineage ???

NYC Myrons

jfk203 — 2005-04-10 04:39:36Z

The 1900 cencus (NYC) shows my Great-grandfather Augusta Myron (1882-1937) living with his 3 brothers and 1 sister:
John A. (1869-1913)
Teresa (1871-?)
Joseph B. (1877-1908)
Francis (1879-?)
Their parents were William Myron and Mary Burke, with William believed to be born in the US.
Any info would help. Thanks.

My maternal grandmother was Halvor's daughter, Ida Paulina.
I can confirm her mother's death (of cancer) & Halvor's remarriage. My grandmother used to tell me how she left WA because she was tired of cleaning up after the baby "Bartley". She came back to Vermillion, SD by herself.

Karin, can you list the children and grandchildren of Halvor and Karen Myron? I have names of some of the children, but not your grandmother or the generation after her. I also have additional data on Hans Myron if you would like it.

Severt and Kari Myron

KarinBarfield — 2005-01-30 13:56:40Z

It took me some time to finally look at my family history book to see that our information matches. I can tell you that when svert and kari came to america they had the children; Halvor b1845, Anne b1847, Hans b1849, and Helge b1850. They also had the children George b1850s, Severt b1855, Tuston b1859, Ira b?, and Ingebor(Emma) b1863. A part of their cabin is in the state historical museum in Pierre. If your grandfaher is Hans Myron then you are one of Hans and Anna's 14 children. My grandmother was Phyllis Myron-Hanson. Her parents were Halvor and Karen Myron. Halvor and Hans were brothers. If you want to chat....let me know.

MYRON name ancient

2005-01-30 13:39:28Z

THE SURNAME MYRON IS ULTIMATELY OF GREEK ORGIN. THE SURNAME MYRON DERIVES FROM THE NAME OF THE GREEK SAINT MYRON WHO LIVES IN THE THIRD CENTURY. HE WAS MARTYRED AT CYZICUS ON THE SEA OF MARMORA, AND SUBSEQUENTLY VENERATED IN THE ORTHODOX CHURCH. HERE, THE NAME MYRON WOULD BE OF PATRONYMIC ORGIN, DERIVING FROM THE NAME OF THE FATHER OF THE FIRST BEARER OF THE NAME.
THE SURNAME MYRON IS POPULAR IN RUSSIA AS MIRONOV, THE GREEK/SLAVIC NAME IS ALSO NOT SUPRISINGLY FOUND TO FOUND AS AUSTRIAN. DURING THE DURATION OF THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN EMPIRE MANY SLAVIC PEOPLE CAME TO AUSTRIA AND BROUGHT THEIR LANGUAGE AND SUBSEQUENTLY THEIR NAMES WITH THEM. ANOTHER NOTABLE BEARER OF THE NAME MYRON WAS THE SCULPTURER
MYRON IN THE FIFTH CENTURY B.C. HE WAS A NATIVE OF ELEUTHERE ON THE BORDER OF ATTICA AND BOEOLIA. HE WORKED PRIMARILY IN BRONZE. MYRON EXCELLED IN MODELING ATHLETHES, ANIMALS AND FIGURES IN MOTION. HIS MOST CELEBRATED WORKS WERE "DISCOBOLUS" "ATHENA ANDMARSYAS" LADAS THE RUNNER" AND "A COW IN THE MARKETPLACE OF ATHENS" COPIES OF THE FIRST HAVE ONLY SURVIVED. (EVERY SURNAMED MYRON SHOULD HAVE ONE-MINE IS ON MY FIREPLACE MANTLE). MINE CAME FROM GREECE-HOWEVER YOU CAN FIND COPIES HERE IN THE U.S. ALSO.
THE SURNAMES OF PEOPLE NAMED MYRON SUGGESTS THAT THE NAME WAS POPULAR IN MANY PARTS OF EUROPE -WHICH IS OFTEN THE CASE WITH THE NAMES OF SAINTS
THE FOLLOWINF COAT OF ARMS WERE GRANTED TO THE FAMILY MYRON IN HUNGARY (DATE UNKNOWN

BLAZON OF ARMS: GULES, ON A TERRACE VERT, A UNICORN SPRINGING ARGENT.
CREST: THE UNICORN OF THE ARMS ISSUING

P.S. VERY FEW PEOPLE IN THE THE WORLD TODAY CAN TRACE THEIR SURNAME AS FAR BACK AS WE CAN. ALL MY RESEARCH ON THE FAMILY NAME ALWAYS LEADS BACK TO THE EARLY GREEKS.

Myron ancestor.

2005-01-30 13:38:06Z

As for the origins of the family, the family is an old French family.
Family history indicates that the first of the Myrins came to Dufftown with
the court of Mary, Queen of Scots. The first of the family was a
troubadour or smimilar in the court and fell in love with one of the Duff
women. They subsequently wed and the family remained in the region
