Is he of Czech descent?

It's a Czech surname I think.--Njsgdsza (talk) 15:55, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a typical Franco-Provençal style surname to me. I'm not sure what Czech surname you are thinking of, given that modern Czech orthography doesn't use the letter q. --Iceager (talk) 15:48, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of surname

In a personal communication, he stated that both "Que-lô" ([kəlo]) and "Qué-lô" ([kelo]) are possible pronunciations, but that he has a slight preference for the former. --Iceager (talk) 15:44, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
