About the Ceylon surname

Ceylon alias Sri Langka first might have been named after Seilénos ( Sewilayawan ) son either of Pan or directly of Hermés . Some inhabitants of the island thus may be closely related to Pan clan among Todas . Seilénos may be identical with E-Sha-'Ayale son of Sha-Meg-Ra-yan-Na ,possible founder of the city Ilesha that became known later in Africa.

There is a Pan tribe also among Tupis in America,of whom She'Ayala king of Awas-Sharra'ale came out . He might have been involved in the businesses of the territory inhabited in big number already by his fellow tribesmen,descendants also of Aba-Nawa-Ma-Wan-Na alias Aban-Na-'Ayan-Nawa . Today's Australia,likely the first Sri Lanka was called by Greeks before their exile from America into Europe either Abantia or Makris or Eyboia - a name preserved by Wubuy tribe . Abás,of whom it could be named,came from Khalkis,and may also be identical with Aba-ya-Naha , ancestor of Arawak Yabaana tribe . Khalkadda in Australia may be his followers .

Jews and christians read Sha'ul,Shimeon,Yishra'el,Benyamin,Ben-'Oni,Bunah.
