Cabaret burlesque, drag shows, or a solo vocalist with a pianist, as well as the venues which offer this entertainment, are often advertised as cabarets. The first known use of the word "cabaret" was in 1655. It is may be derived from the Middle Dutch "cambret", itself probably derived from an earlier form of "chambrette", little room, or from the Norman French "chamber" meaning tavern, itself derived from the Late Latin word "camera" meaning an arched roof. The word "cabaret" came to mean "a restaurant or night club" by 1912. The word "cabaret" was originally Flemish (and possibly Picard before that).
Hughes (surname) Hughes (surname) Hughes is an Anglified spelling of the Welsh and Irish patronymic surname of French origin. The surname may also be the etymologically unrelated Picard variant "Hugh" (Old French "Hue") of the Germanic name "Hugo". In Wales and other areas of Brythonic Britain, the surname derives from the personal name "Hu" or "Huw", meaning "fire" or "inspiration". At the time of the British Census of 1881, the relative frequency of the surname "Hughes" was highest on the Welsh island of Ynys Môn (Anglesey) (37.2 times the British average), followed by Gwynedd, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Meirionydd, Montgomeryshire, Ceredigion, Radnorshire and Carmarthenshire,
