I do.

and?

When I first saw this thread (in its original subject title of 'Sir Names,' of course), I initially thought this was where we were going to post our names of royalty. Like Prince Botankus or something.

What? What does your surname mean..........is it really Pig climber???

Scandinavian and Scottich names are easy. The scandinavian seem to all mean son of, while the Scottish can be son of or just from.

examples:

Jensen - son of Jens
Peterson - son of Peter

McDonald - Son of Donald
MacWhatever - of whatever

My own surname, no idea, but I do know that when I google it I find it in Britain, France, and Germany. so I really don't even know the roots of it.

Leatherer, I think... or tanner.

hahahaha...mine? more like a derogatory male genitalia in the UK. so i won't mention it. oh wait...i think i just did.

I don't know what my surname means. I don't have $155 for an annual subscription to ancestry.com. If everyone wants to chip in and send me $155, I might go and check it out.

Yeah, I know, because I implied your father was also your brother, haha, and that your mother slept with your brother, her son...haha, funny.

yeah, everything is Mc and Mac ...and......hmmmmmmmm Macaroni...

True, That's why I said Mc or Mac doesn't always mean son of, some times it's from.

McFarland isn't son of farland, it's more like from a far land.

As to where I got it from - Just stuff I've heard for the most part, I have a lot of ancestry from scandinavian countries.

Russian names are often patronymic as well.

-edit-

Maybe I'm mixing up Irish and scottish. I do that sometimes

Macaroni means then Son of noodle???

What is it...?

hitler

Close, that's the Austrian

I found out what Botankus surname means........."Road that goes east".....

It's kind of a nutty name........lol

Damn my English/Norse surname....

What does it mean though??

My surname quite simply means "The descendant of Neil, those that are the powerful or mighty."

One of my relatives has studied our family tree right back to Ireland, and apparently the name eventually gets back to a minor offshoot founded by bastard sons linking to one of the old Irish royal families. So, in a round about way descended from an Irish king or an Irish kings brother, even though that might not sound particularly exciting, it is still nice to know.

So is that a Mac or a Mc?

I think my surname means "the truth" in Spanish.

My last name is Johnson. I have no idea what that means.

Originally posted by docb77

Usually O. The O seems, for some, to be seen as the equvilant of Mac or Mc in certain Irish clans - O'Neil, O'Neill that kind of thing.

Ah, that's an easy one - scandinavian patronymic surname.

Johnson - John's son

Mine is Sicilian ;it rhymes with Marijuana.

All I know about my last name is it's one of the most common last names in the UK.

What about Middle Ages names?????

Any thought?

Mine was originally an Italian name, which got modified to sound more English sounding at some point in time.

Mine means "A tempered feline"
Seriously.

In English Mine means = To Chase down prey and Usually Kill it

In Estonian it means = Wolf
