Melungeon or Meluncan ? Does DNA Speak English ?

“
Who are the Melungeons? Where did they come from? There are as many theories as there are researchers concerning these questions. The writer has done much study concerning the Melungeons and has come to the conclusion, that there is no "absolute" proof where this mysterious group has immigrated from.
.......

Up to date "popular" theory supports the fact that the Melungeons were descendants of Portuguese and Spanish settlers. The English word 'Melungeon' has both Arabic and Turkish roots meaning "cursed soul". In the Portuguese language the term "Melungo" means shipmate. In the Turkish language Melungeons are called Melun-can, "Melun" being "a borrowed word from Arabic meaning one that carries bad luck and ill omen." The term "Can, " which is Turkish, means soul. Melucan means a person whose soul is a born loser. This expression was a common phrase among 16th century Ottoman Turks, Arabs, and Muslim converts to Christianity in Spain and Portugal. It is still empathized by modern Turks as an offensive term by a Muslim who feels deserted by God. “
