Hi Andrea,

sure, Waldo indeed is a surname, and a very famous one! Peter Waldo (Pierre
Waldo, Petrus Waldo) was the founder of a radical ascetic Christian movement
in 12th-century France around 1160, referred to as the Waldensians or
Waldenses and also Albigensians along with the Cathars. For more info on him
and the Waldensians search the net; e.g. see
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Waldo.

Greetings,

Juergen
