For ease of use, the [i] in front of the last name, and the ending _ve, were dropped. If the last name ends in [a], then removing the [j] would give the name of the patriarch or the place, as in, Grudaj - j = Gruda (place in MM). Otherwise, removing the whole ending [aj] yields the name of founder or place of origin, as in Lekaj - aj = Lek(ë).
The term broadened to mean "wandering" or "travelling" from the habits of young peregrine falcons (falco peregrinus, meaning "pilgrim falcon" in Medieval Latin), which would travel long distances to find a suitable nesting place in a high place.
