Carine,

When that happens you just back up a level to the home page of whatever
you're looking at.

The entry does mean the name was first seen in the year 1274, and the
reference is Mor = Moroshkin, Mikhail. Slavianskii imenoslov ili
sobranie slavianskikhlichnykh imen. Saint Petersburg: n.p., 1867, which
means something like Slavic Names and Group Designations.

You seem to have a Russian surname. You need that spelling Bel'chon if
you are going to look at the name in Cyrillic.

Any relation to Belzon the watchmakers?

Jim
