What does your surname mean?

Yea, I found a website that tells you. And you can censor anything you feel would reveal if you want. I don't think there's a reverse search option. Mine is:

Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó ***** 'descendant of ****', a byname from a diminutive of ********** 'bent', 'crooked'.

Edit: I forgot the link, being the idiot I am. Here.

First name: Luke
English: Middle English form of Lucas, Latin form of the post-cl@ssical Greek name Loukas "man from Lucania". This owes its perennial popularity throughout Christian Europe to the fact that, from the 2nd century onwards, the third gospel in the New Testament has been ascribed to the Lucas or Luke mentioned at various places in Acts and in the Epistles. He was a doctor, a Gentile, and a friend and convert of StPaul. Cognates: Scottish Gaelic: Lucas. Irish Gaelic: Lucas. French: Luc. Italian: Luca. Catalan: Lluc(h). German: Lukas. Dutch: Lucas. Polish: Lukasz. Czech: Lukas. Hungarian: Lukacs. Russian: Luka.

Last name: Asher
1. English (mainly Sussex and Hampshire): topographic name denoting someone dwelling by an ash tree, from Middle English asche 'ash tree' + the habitational suffix -er.

2. Jewish: from the Hebrew personal name Asher 'blessed'.

3. Americanized spelling of German Ascher.

Grant
Scottish and English: from the Scottish surname, the name of a famous clan, which is nevertheless probably derived from a Norman nickname meaning "large" (Anglo-Norman grand). In America the name is sometimes bestowed in honour of the Civil War general and 18th president, UlyssesS.Grant (1822-85).

Ashton English: habitational name from any of the numerous places so called, especially Ashton-under-Lyne near Manchester. Most are named from Old English æsc 'ash tree' + tun 'settlement'; the one in Northamptonshire is (æt þ?m) æscum '(at the) ash trees'. Others have been assimilated to this from different sources. The one in Devon is 'the settlement (tun) of Æschere', while the one in Hertfordshire is 'the settlement of Ælli'.

interesting.

Donovan
Irish and English: from the Irish surname, Gaelic Ó Donndubháin "descendant of Donndubhán", a personal name composed of the elements donn brown + dubh black, dark, with the addition of the diminutive suffix -án. Its use as a given name dates from the early 1900s. The folk-rock singer Donovan may have had some influence on its increase in popularity in the 1960s. It is now also used by people with no Irish connections.

Gray

1. English: nickname for someone with gray hair or a gray beard, from Old English græg 'gray'. In Scotland and Ireland it has been used as a translation of various Gaelic surnames derived from riabhach 'brindled', 'gray' (see Reavey). In North America this name has assimilated names with similar meaning from other European languages.
2. English and Scottish (of Norman origin): habitational name from Graye in Calvados, France, named from the Gallo-Roman personal name Gratus, meaning 'welcome', 'pleasing' + the locative suffix -acum.
3. French and Swiss French: habitational name from Gray in Haute-Saône and Le Gray in Seine-Maritime, both in France, or from Gray-la-ville in Switzerland, or a regional name from the Swiss canton of Graubünden.

Adam
Biblical: name of the first man (Genesis 2-3). It probably derives from Hebrew adama earth; it is a common feature of creation legends that the god responsible fashioned the first human beings from earth or clay and breathed life into them. The name was subsequently borne by a 7th-century Irish abbot of Fermo in Italy. It has enjoyed something of a resurgence in the English-speaking world since the 1960s. In Hebrew it is a generic term for "man" (Genesis 5: 2) and has never been considered a personal name, although Hava "Eve" has enjoyed popularity among Jews. Derivatives: Irish Gaelic: Ádhamh. Scottish Gaelic: Àdhamh. Italian: Adamo. Spanish: Adán. Portuguese: Adão. Finnish: Aatami.

RondeauFrench: nickname for a plump person, from a diminutive of Old French rond 'round' (Latin rotundus) :| (i am not plump :lol: )

hmm, "meadow"

[QUOTE="frizzyman0292"]Whats a surname?LJS9502_basic

Last name....

Exactly. I'm American and prefer the term last name, but I thought surname would be a bit more...appropriate.

1. German: from a short form of the personal name Rizo, itself derived in part from Richard and in part from Heinrich (see Henry).
2. probably an altered spelling of South German Rütz (see Ruetz).
