Hello, the spelling (and pronounciation) "carawan" is most likely to come
from the irish Kirwin - very old family - or clan - from Galway Ireland. If
Carawan were to be from the middle east, it would probably spell with a "v"
and not a "w" since it comes from the turk qarvan (meaning caravan), and they
have no "w" sound. Now again, a new pronounciation may occur. If I was of any
help, great, otherwise thanks for being on the mailing list
