Etymology of IgguldaneWhat does the name Igguldane mean?

Those who did make it, however, were greeted with greater opportunities and freedoms that they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Early immigration records have shown some of the first Igguldanes to arrive on North American shores: Elizabeth, Jane, John, and Sarah Iggleden who settled in Massachusetts in 1634.
