About the Norfolk surname

Norfolk in England,the country of the antique Ikén people around Norwich ,then called Venta Ikénorum ,
which approximately means Ikén Forum ,might have been named after Antiochos Epiphanés ,
called also Niképhor ,and by his original name Mithradat ,king of Syria ,as an "usurper ",that is no
member of the dynasty ,until 164 BC ,that corresponds to 1223 of the current global aera of begin in
1387 BC,and to 901 of the Northern one once used in Scandinavian and British countries of begin in 1065 BC .

He was apparently called Yi Huai in China ,which may derive from I(k) Hua(r)i ,and may refer on one
hand to the Ikén tribe ,shortly called Ik ,as the one in Uganda is ,and on the other to the Huari kingdom
in the Holy Land of America ,the capital of which was Hua-Manga .

Mango was also the name of the Inca of Cuzco until 94 BC ,that is 1255 according to the formerly used
Central European calendar counted from 1349 BC ,and 1293 of the one now used of begin in 1387 BC ,
father of Sintche Roca ,who is identical with Mithridat ,father of Sinatruk ,the Sun'"s Son ,king of Parthyaia .
He was called Mari Dyatta in Mali ,as well as Maghan ,after his father ,who was Nare Fa Maghan ,king of
Niani ,who died at his age of only seven years ,which may well be equal to 164 BC ,as Mithridat was born
about 170 ,according to other sources .
The story goes on so,that he could not walk until his age of about 10 ,when a crutch made of iron was
given to him to support his feet ,and eventually he did .
A crutch is called MANKOO in Hungarian ,and this is the reason he was known as Manko in Peru ,
as well as Ticatamen ,father of Sicuirancha in Michoacan ,and Taycanamu ,father of Guacricaur in Chimú .
Ti-Inca-Ta-Nhamunh and Ta-Inca-Nhamunh namely both mean in the Araucanian language of his clan ,
the Chima Panaca,or rather Che-Mapu-Inaca ,the Mapuche-Inca ,nothing else than Foot Supporter .
Apparently then,being an orphan ,he was adopted by Wana Kamara ,king of Tabon ,who was called in
the Mongolian genealogies Taban Mara-Kan ,and by the antique writers as Artaban .
In Norway ,by its North-Folk ,where he also reigned ,Manko Kapak was called Kaup-Man ,as well as Farmand ,
that may come from Fa-(N)are-Maghan-De ,from Nare Fa Maghan's name .
So , as he was called Maghan and Mango as was his father ,so he was called Mithridat after his father ,
who was in fact the previous Mithridat ,Epiphan .
The latter was in fact a brother of Artaban ,and their father was Mamadi Kani ,or M'hammad ,called
Odomar / Odonark or Sagd-Odonak ,the ancestor of Sayid families ,in the antiquity .

Epiphan's original or another alternative name though might have been Alkanór ,that might have been
interpreted as (W)alka-No(n)or ,and corresponds to Nonohualcatl ,that is Nono(r)-Walka used by him in México .
He ruled in Coilé-Syria too ,which in fact may be Coahuila in the latter country ,inhabited by Syrian / Serian
peoples,like are the Kom-Ekrudo,the Seri or Kominka ,now in California ,perhaps the Cocom ,and others .
Alkanór though can also be interpreted as Al-Kanowr(i) ,that is the Kanuri ,the chief of the people of
Kanem-Bornu kingdom at lake Tchad ,called also Manga people .
A group of them are the Kai ,who may be related to the Ikén ,and to the Ika ( I-Ka ) of America in Columbia .
Niképhor is also an anagramma of Ikén-For ,that is approximately Norwich ,the capital of Norfolk .
A king of the Kanuri was called Mai or Derdei ,which together also give a variant of of Mithridat,or Mehrdad .

Other names of Nare Fa Maghan were Fo-Maga(n)-Ta in Columbia in the Holy Land ,in "Iudaia" ,
Ko Te Kura Tahonga ,that is Ta-Fo-M'ga(n) in the Eastern Island ,and Takakura Norihito ( Nori-Fito ) in Japan .
There he was son of Te Uruaki Kena ,or Go-Shirakawa ,called Te-Uruaki-Ole-Kayenna in Mongolian
genealogy ,identical with Ken Angrok of Indonesia ,Aki Nunuk Ragang of Borneo ,Mohammad of Sumatra ,
Sri Aragang of Champa and so on .
Taku-Kura means in the Araucanian language Cover-Stone ,called BNBN in the Aigyptian language ,
after what Benabena people in New Guinea may be named .
In the west of New Guinea he is commemorated as Nuh Jafar ,another version of Nare Fa ,and of Niké-Phor .
He was a Sayyid ,according to them too .

So Antioch Epiphan alias Yi Huai might have been the chief of Ik / Ikén and Manga / Kanuri peoples in
the Huari kingdom of Peru around Ayacuchu ,wherefore he was called also Alkanór ,and for this reason
the kingdom of the Ikén in Brittania ,that might have ,as many others ,been ruled by his descendants ,
first documented by this name in about 22 BC ,might well have been called Norfolk ,that is in fact
Nore-Fa-Walka ,after his names Nare Fa ,or No(n)or-Fa-Walka .
And from this the interpretation in English as North-Folk came .
