sURNAME mEANINGS AND oRIGINS
WHAT DOES MY SURNAME MEAN?
by Kimberly Powell
Updated March 03, 2017
With a few exceptions, hereditary surnames—the last names passed down through the male family lines—didn't exist until about 1000 years ago. While it may be hard to believe in today's world of passports and retinal scans, surnames just weren't necessary before that. The world was much less crowded than it is today, and most folks never ventured more than a few miles from their place of birth. Every man knew his neighbors, so first, or given names, were the only designations necessary.
Even kings got by with a single name.
During the middle ages, as families got bigger and villages got a bit more crowded, individual names became inadequate to distinguish friends and neighbors from one another. One John might be called "John son of William" to distinguish him from his neighbor, "John the smith," or his friend "John of the dale." These secondary names, weren't quite yet the surnames as we know them today, however, because they weren't passed down from father to son. "John, son of William," for example, might have a son known as "Robert, the fletcher (arrow maker)."
Last names that were passed down unchanged from one generation to the next first came into use in Europe about 1000 A.D., beginning in southern areas and gradually spreading northward. In many countries the use of hereditary surnames began with the nobility who often called themselves after their ancestral seats.
Many of the gentry, however, did not adopt surnames until the 14th century, and it was not until about 1500 A.D. that most surnames became inherited and no longer transformed with a change in a person's appearance, job, or place of residence.
Surnames, for the most part, drew their meanings from the lives of men in the Middle Ages, and their origins can be divided into four main categories: TO READ MORE- CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW

The Eddy Room at Hoyt Library
In 1991-1994, a small project to renovate four rooms on the second floor of Hoyt Library gave a preview of the beauty and functionality that a full renovation could bring. The Eddy Historical and Genealogical Collection, one of the finest local history and genealogical collections in Michigan, was now showcased in the beautifully renovated rooms, which featured restored oak beams in the high ceiling, and an elegant Victorian color scheme. This $400,000 project, funded entirely through grants and private donations, added the electrical heating and mechanical improvements needed to create a temperature- and humidity-controlled climate for these unique historical materials.
A state-of-the-art computer training center was created to serve both staff and patron training needs. In the freshly painted and refurnished reference room a large U- shaped block of 15 computer stations was made available for public use. The completely remodeled children's room featured space for 6 computer workstations on child-sized furniture. All areas of the library had new carpet reflecting the Victorian motif, and sturdy, attractive new shelving to replace old wooden shelves that were split and unstable. Hoyt Public Library, completely renovated for the first time in a century, continues to stand as a landmark - a visible sign of the strength, endurance and vision of the people of Saginaw.

3 Ways to Find Ancestors Who Didn’t Leave a Paper Trail: What to Do When There Are No Records
Not every ancestor will have a large trail of records leading to them. Some won’t have any, except maybe some census entries, and even then, they may be missing (for numerous reasons) on more than one census. Ancestors who lived in counties where courthouses burned down may have had important records that disappeared with the courthouse. Some ancestors were just purposefully private (and thus, mysterious) people.
There are all kinds of reasons you may not be finding many, or any, records regarding a particular ancestor. Just because there are no records, however, does not mean you can’t find out more about your ancestor and his or her life and family. You’ve just got to get creative in your search. Here are three methods you can use to find your record-less ancestor.
1. Look at Family Naming Patterns
You can get a lot of clues as to family relationships by examining naming patterns within a particular family. While it is still popular to name children after grandparents, parents, and other favored relatives, it was extremely common in the 18th and 19th centuries. If you’re dealing with an ancestor who left no records, look at their name and what they named their children.
Middle names are particularly important. They were used occasionally in the 18th century but were commonplace by the mid-19th century. Middle names were often used to honor a mother or grandmother’s maiden name or the first name of a grandfather or other distinguished relative. You can take a middle name or a first name and look in census records for people with the same last name in the general area who are old enough to be your ancestor’s parents or grandparents. You can also take a middle name and look for people in the area with that name as their surname.
Research these people, looking for wills, obituaries, land records, tax records, military records, and anything else that may mention family members. You may just find a mention of your ancestor if they were named after any of these people.
2. Research Their Neighbors
People did not live in a vacuum back in the old days. A community was particularly important in the age before television and the Internet. Neighbors often developed close relationships with each other. Marriages between the children of neighbors weren’t uncommon, especially in rural areas, and neighbors sometimes went to the same churches as each other, and even migrated to other areas together.
This is why it’s so important to research neighbors if you can’t find any direct information on your ancestor. Don’t just research the people who lived next door, either. Look at all of the people in the same general geographic area. You might find your ancestor’s name, and even his or her family relationships, mentioned in a neighbor’s will, land records, military records (if your ancestor gave an affidavit for a neighbor’s military pension application), church sponsorship records, and more. If you discover some neighbors left diaries, try to get access to them, as your ancestor and his or her family may be mentioned in those diary entries, as well.
3. Search Old Newspapers
In and Near the Places Your Ancestor LivedIf you know where your ancestor lived (or the places he or she lived, if there were a lot of moves), you might have a chance at discovering new information about them in local and area newspaper records. Many genealogy websites have searchable newspapers onlinegoing back to the colonial days of this nation. Search for your ancestor by name in the newspapers in the town and county, and even surrounding counties of his or her place of dwelling. Sometimes news traveled to newspapers a surprising distance away.
If you can’t find the newspapers you need online, contact the newspaper offices in the town or county (and surrounding counties) today and ask if they keep an archive of old editions, and how you may access it. It may take a trip there in person and many days of reading through old newspapers, sometimes on microfilm, but it will be worth it if you find an obituary, birth announcement, marriage announcement, or personal story involving your elusive ancestor.
Just because your ancestor didn’t leave adequate records for you to find out anything about him or her directly doesn’t mean your search for information on this person’s life has hit a brick wall. You don’t need a time machine to go back and meet your ancestor in person to get answers. You just need to look at different ways to reach your ancestor from the present day. Not all genealogical searches are direct ones. The information you seek is usually there, though. All you need to do is go the long way around, and through some unusual pathways, to find them.

These days it seems you can’t be alive on planet earth and not have met someone who happens to be doing an ‘indepth search’ on their ancestors, or in other words embarking on a spot of what is officially referred to as Genealogy. This crusade to find out more about where we came from, how we got here and, in doing so, possibly learn a lot more about our own personality and beliefs etc, has been growing phenomenally in popularity over the years here in America.
And if you don’t quite believe that fact then just ask ABC News. Their statistics revealed Genealogy to be the second most popular online website category to be visited in 2013 (this is a family article so we won’t mention the first). Meanwhile, celebrated University of Michigan anthropologist Beverly Strassmann acknowledges that Genealogy appears to be “America’s second-most popular hobby.”
The fascination for tracing our ancestors is believed to date back to author Alex Haley’s book Roots, published in 1976 and made famous globally after it was adapted for TV. The author described himself as being ‘addicted’ to Genealogy, having studied it for 12 years and until his death still searching for scraps of ongoing evidence. Even US president Barack Obama became enamored with the past time, publishing his autobiography and family history ‘Dreams From My Father.’
That’s all very well, but how do you even go about starting to look? Well, read the following and find out:
Where people get their information fromWithout a doubt, the biggest resource for people tracking down their ancestral history has to be the internet. There are a number of online websites specializing in Genealogy databases and receiving around 108 million visits a year, according to statistics from Genealogy In Timemagazine.
Based on Alexa rankings, the most popular Genealogy site in America is Ancestry.com with an astounding 38,890 visitors a day, followed by MyHeritage.com with 11,870 visitors and thirdly FindAGrave with 11,310 people dropping in daily.
There are paper records too, of course. The Baptist churches encouraged its members to research their fathers back before the publication of Roots. Libraries store archived records and there are lists of federal agencies with interesting records. And that’s just for starters.
Why do individuals embark on it?According to the anthropologist Strassmann mentioned in our introduction, it’s all down to evolution and the fact we can’t help caring about family (both immediate and cousins, great aunts etc). And if someone cares about you and looks out for you then you’re more likely to survive. It makes sense!
Of course, there is also a sense of satisfaction and pleasure gained from discovery. You may, for instance, be the only person for hundreds of years to uncover a particular piece of family history and which would otherwise probably have gone undiscovered for another few centuries. At the same time you’re discovering a little more about American culture at a given period. This video from the National Genealogy Society reveals professional Genealogists and amateur searchers revealing what they get from the subject.

How to start your Genealogy questFirst decide what type of Genealogy you’re about to embark on. For instance, is it your family history as a whole you’re looking to recreate, or are you on the pursuit of one particular family line? Next:
- Quiz your family. Grandparents, in particular, often have the key to unlock certain doors from the past. So do great aunts, uncles and elderly distant cousins. Start visiting them and listening to their reminiscences. Try and get as many details as possible about nicknames, addresses, ages, and dates around births, marriages and deaths (as these should all be recorded).
- Snoop around your parental home. Asking for permission first is easier! Look at old photos and birth certificates, also school report cards, letters and diaries if possible. There may even be an old family tree started by some distant relative who, for some reason, abandoned his or her genealogical search.
- Draw a basic family tree. Regardless of whether you’re looking for just one individual ancestral line or many, it still helps to have this ‘family map’ to refer to. It can be online or hard copy; just add things to it as you go along and try to keep it tidy for easy reference.
- Look for a particular story of interest. This could be a relative’s student years at college, military service or serving the community as an elected member of the council. If, during your search you come across what appears to be an even more interesting story on another family member, try to stay loyal to the first otherwise your search may not be as thorough as it could have been.
- Review the US Census. This is reasonably extensive since the first US Census was taken as far back as 1790 when George Washington was the President. However, do approach it with caution since the records for Delaware, Georgia, New Jersey, and Virginia were lost and up to one third of the original data was destroyed. This involved records originating from
Do, however, refer to this official record – and the others following – to try and trace family since it contains names, ages, birth places, occupations, addresses and immigration details.
- Network with other genealogists. Joining FB groups and online forums can help you pick up valuable tips for your own search. They could also prove encouraging when you hit what you consider to be a brick wall and your passion for the pastime starts to fade. There may even be a Family History Society which physically meets up near where you live.
