What does your Surname mean.

Surname look up (free), if your name comes back as "English Variant of ie, XYZ" then search XYZ instead.

Mine comes back as a Maker of Cooper or Wooden Barrel for Beer or Spirit, formerly from Germany, Denmark, Swiss Borders, Hmm Beer,.... :)    they could be on to something there.  :y ;D

mainly a topographic name for someone who lived in or by a wood or a metonymic occupational name for a woodcutter or forester, from Middle English wode ‘wood’ (Old English wudu). nickname for a mad, eccentric, or violent person, from Middle English wod ‘mad’, ‘frenzied’ (Old English wad), as in Adam le Wode, Worcestershire 1221.

Interesting. I did a much genealogical research some years back but petered out. Lot of software provided by the Church of Latter Day Saints. On 4.5 & 3 inch discs! But lost interest. Name means 'sexual prowess'!  ;D

 my stepfathers name  English: apparently an occupational name for a tipstaff or beadle who carried a long staff as a badge of office; perhaps also a nickname for a very tall, thin man, or even an obscene nickname for a man with a long sexual organ. The surname is found chiefly in northeastern England.

Mine has no meaning :o
Mine neither... family legend is that it was a spelling mistake on an orphan register, probably in the late 1700s looking at the census data. It would also appear that I am of Kentish descent... the posh part of Gravesend, ie on the river... ::), by the look of it :D

Mine's Wheeler, so it's an occupational name: an ancestor back in the middle ages made wheels.
