Slovenia? Dove must be derived from something else in their language.
It's interesting to notice that in the US most of the Doves seem to be in Virginia and Maryland. Now, I'm from Illinois originally, but from what I have been able to find, my Dove line came from Maryland originally (Annapolis to be exact) through Virginia, then west to Illinois.
Weird, my surname is Pivik - very rare Slovenian name that doesn't even show in the database in Slovenia! But I heard stories about it being butchered when my g grandfather came over.
The other side of my family, Clarke (the Irish side) was interesting but not surprising.
