Had a bit of a laugh with the last one..... I looked up the meaning of Car and Bis (my surname Carbis) with this result

CAR, s. m. A friend, ally, a dear neighbour, a kinsman,
a cousin ; also a father, which in Armoric is the most
common meaning

BIS, s. m. A finger. This form as well as bes, is given in
the Cornish Vocabulary, which also furnishes bis truit,
allax, the toe ; literally, the finger of the foot, as in
W. bys trocd. Arm. biz-troad

So a couple of new definitions for the name Carbis are.... Fathers Toe or My dear neighbours finger! ;D

Best regards
