Hardy (surname)
Hardy is a surname of French-Norman, English, Scottish and Irish origin. It appears that the oldest usage is from the Old French ''hardi'' meaning “bold, courageous" which itself comes from Old Frankish ''hardjan'' meaning "to make hard". The final ''-y'' is also typical of the French proper names (first names, surnames and place names, with the notable exception '' Henri'', when it is a given name). Some of the oldest Hardy families in England seem to originate from a Norman Knight de Hardy in the mid 11th century. English Hardy families can mainly be found around Dorset and Yorkshire. In Scotland Hardi is considered to have Norman, Viking or Celtic orgins and is mainly a Lowland surname. Scottish Hardy's are mainly affiliated with Clan Mackintosh as a sept and the larger Clan Chattan Federation. Hardy could also be an anglicized form of the Irish ''Mac Giolla Deacair'' meaning "son of the hard lad".http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Hardy-family-history.ashx Notable perso ...

Hardy Town, Gibraltar
Hardy Town was a temporary civilian settlement established near the south end of the Gibraltar peninsula during the Great Siege of Gibraltar (1779–83). The intensive Spanish and French bombardment reduced the town of Gibraltar to ruins and prompted many of its inhabitants, and eventually the off-duty members of the British garrison, to relocate to a spot out of range of the enemy's land-based guns (though as they discovered, they were still vulnerable to naval gunfire). After it became known for its appalling conditions, a British quartermaster named Hardy was put in charge of the settlement and it acquired his name. Hardy Town was eventually abandoned and torn down after the siege ended and the population moved back to Gibraltar's main town within the city walls. Establishment Despite the fighting during the siege, many civilians remained alongside the British garrison to endure four years of Spanish and French bombardment. Gibraltar's civilian inhabitants found themselves in a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hardy River
The Hardy River ( es, Río Hardy) is a -long Mexico, Mexican river formed by residual agricultural waters from the Mexicali Valley, and running into the Colorado River. The river is believed to have been an ancient channel of the Colorado, as well as the primary outflow for the prehistoric Lake Cahuilla. History In prehistoric times, during the Holocene, the Colorado River periodically flowed north into the Salton Sink, forming a large lake called Lake Cahuilla. Eventually, this lake would fill, to about 30 feet above sea level, and at that point overflow its banks near Cerro Prieto, and run south to the Gulf of California; during those times, the Rio Hardy served as an overflow channel for Lake Cahuilla. In the 19th century, an English lieutenant, R. W. H. Hardy, explored the Colorado River Delta, and noted that the main channel of the Colorado followed this course. Later, in the 1880s, sea captains noted that the main channel of the Colorado had moved east; this earlier channel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
