One such name is Llywelyn in Welsh which has been Anglicised into Lewis, with among the earliest examples being the Lewis family of Glamorgan in the 1540s. Another is the Gaelic surname Mac Lughaidh, meaning "son of Lughaidh," which has also been Anglicised as Lewis. The surname Lewis is also an Americanization of several like-sounding Jewish surnames, such as "Levi." Lewis is the 23rd-most common surname in the United Kingdom. Roberts is a surname of North Welsh origin, deriving from the Anglo Saxon/Norman given name Robert, meaning "bright fame" - from the Germanic elements "hrod" meaning fame and "beraht" meaning bright. Roberts may mean either "servant of Robert" or "son of Robert"; the latter is more common in Wales, while the former is more common in England.

Today the surname Roberts is common in both England, Wales and the Isle of Man, with the biggest conce...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
