Family names may not mean anything clear in some languages and may therefore be impossible to translate. Plus "De Vyteinsen" does not appear to be a French name.
Sir Guy De Vyteinsen was a Norman that in 1070 emmigrated to England with William the Conqueror. His son and one of my ancestors was SIR GUY DE WITINTON, his son, was
SIR WILLIAM WHITTINGTON. Four hundred years later one of their descendants, CAPT. WILLIAM WHITTINGTON emigrated to Virginia in the early 1600's. He was born in England in 1616 and died in Northhampton County, Virginia in 1659. On or about 1750 some of the family changed their sur name from Whittington to Wethington but both of these families can trace their paternal linage back to Sur Guy DeVyteinsen, a Norman noble. One of my ancestors, William Wethington, born 1750's had a copy of his last will and testament online. His name was spelled at least three different ways in the document Whittington, Withington, and Wethington.
