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.

You send me $155 American money or I'll come and hunt you down. And don't think I won't find you, for I know where you live. You live in California.

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.

where did you get this from?

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.

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???
