Have you ever wondered about the meaning of your last name or where your family
came from? What your ancestors did, how they looked or where they lived? Surnames -- our last
names -- tell a story about our family, one handed down for hundreds of years.
By tracing the possible origin of your last name, you can learn more about the
medieval ancestors who first bore the last name and, ultimately, handed it down to
you. To learn more
about your last name meaning and ethnic origin, just browse to the
appropriate letter in the Last Name Meanings and Origins Glossary for
your last name. The glossary includes last name meanings and origins, plus
research links, common last name spelling variations, and surname search tips
for last names of English, Irish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Jewish origin,
including the 100 most popular U.S. surnames.
Can't find your last name in
the Last Name Meanings Glossary? Submit your surname to
Ask a Genealogist and I'll try to
research its meaning and add it to the Last Name Meanings Glossary.
