Orgles Surname Definition:
The only meaning that I can attach to this word is organs, according to the definition of Halliwell, who cites from MS. Douce, 302, f. 3, the line, "He con harpe, he con syng, his orgies ben herd ful wyd." Orgel, German, an organ. Now Organ is also a well-recognised surname, and hence it would seem that the noblest of all musical instruments has lent its aid to swell our family nomenclature.
