      ---INTRODUCTION---


Surnames define not just ones Parents, and where they come from. Not just in Marriages. Not just in Documents are they useful...but Surnames (last names) have Ancient & Modern-bits of History that tell a tale of Personality, Culture and Evolution of such Races associated with the Surname.

What many people DON'T know, is when Surnames appear from one Place, that the Country of Origin and Origin of the Families Ancestral Roots...dives much Deeper than just the Current Settlements/History of their Respective Countries.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Surname "Bloom", and most of its Modern-Ancestors originates in North Germany - but the Actual Bloom Family is originally of English & Swedish Descent. Where the original surname was "Blum".
North German Surnames are [arguably] of  Nordic/Viking Roots - though NOT ALL North German Families feel this way...and simply identify as "German".

Its important to note that South Germany's Genetics (Bavaria) are remarkably similar to Roman Genetic Sequences, and the same with South of Poland and many British People have "Roman DNA".

So...now that we've Clarified that Genetics aren't so Easy...now we can list examples.

English Names and Their Origins

Abram/Abrams: Another "Hebrew Origin" name but of English and Scottish Regionality. This name may be directly linked to the 12-Tribes of Israel, included in The Book of Life. People with this surname may have their DNA come up as both "Great Britain" and "European Jewish" as well as "Middle East".

Acton: A popular English-surname which comes from Knights in the Old Anglo-Saxon Generations. Most "actons" served as Knights and sometimes, Religious Priests/Officials under Kings; like King Eckbert and Alfred the Great.

Adams: An English & Irish Name, which most likely Emerged from a group of Warriors from Rome, who moved to Britain, and integrated into Society. Often holding Financial & Military positions, sometimes Criminal Entrepreneurs, the Adams surname is ever prevalent in the Western World.

Adams Surname may also be descendants of The Tribe of Dan, mentioned in The Holy Bible.

Addington: This is a famous British surname, which is associated with Ancient & Current British Nobility [!]. Viscount Sidmouth - one Major Peerage (house of Nobility) in the UK is directly linked with multiple "Royal" last names/House Names. Addington is one of them!


Gregory: As mentioned in this-article of Ours; the Gregory Irish/English Family is a Unique Family - but one that is (usually) closely linked to the MacGregor's of Scotland & Ireland. 
However, in the case of the English/British Gregory family - they may have a more linear "noble" connection back to an Elite-Group of British-Knights - who helped to maintain Order & Control by British Forces.

The MacGregor's were ancient, pivotal Highland Warriors ("highlanders") with a penchant for heavy Sword-swinging, and where needed - DECAPITATION [!].

...Though they were forced into exile by the Imperial, almost tyrannical Scottish-Clan the "Campbells" - but they were never forgotten...and many MacGregor's moved to Ireland, America & Canada as well as Australia - where some 'took the names of Gregory, Gregor, Greig and Gregorius.

  • The surname (last name) MacGregor was actually BANNED in Scotland, under Authority/Command of the Campbell Rule [reference].
  • ...And it was banned in England/UK, during a time of changes & transition from one Medieval Period to the next-Era [reference].

The name "Gregory" means "watchful, awake and aware" and comes from the GREEK term "Gregorios". The surname Gregory thus may have links to Greece & Romebefore it came to Scotland and thus, Ireland.

An alternative Gregory family, which *some* may descend from actually comes from English-Knights & Nobles - who helped England's Ruling Class maintain their Scope of Influence, Power & Societal Order [See-Here].

It is unclear if these also descend from MacGregor's - this family in particular may actually be linked to Alfred the Great [!] as well Augustus the Roman Emperor [!]

The Gregory's have somewhat of an obscure origin before the times of Establishment of Medieval Britain, Scottish Royalty (Robert the Bruce) & Irish Revolutions.


At least one source states the Gregory's descend from the Tribe of Judah; mentioned in the Holy Bible...this seems consistent - and is backed up by several other Sources - indicating a "Holy" heritage for the Gregory/MacGregor families.

Sir Charles Augustus Gregory - in his Legacy also seems to ignite the trail of evidence leading back to Rome - for some of the Gregory's.

In theory, some Gregory's may then be (distantly) related to Conor McGregor/Conor MacGregor - the UFC/MMA Fighter with a self-proclaimed & easily researchable "Warrior-Heritage" [ARTICLE].

Long: Long is a common 'descriptor' surname in Great Britain (UK) - and most of these types of surnames which form descriptive English words - are tied to William I of England - or William "The Conqueror". If not (directly) related to William - then they are of Norman Origin - and tied to Norman-French Nobility.

Russell: The Russel family originates in Normandy, France where they held a seat as one of the most rich and powerful families [!]. Nowadays there are many Russel's in England (UK) and Italy. In Italy, Russell is most likely a changed form of the surname "Russo". 

Osborn: English but of truly 'Viking' roots, this name was the name held by Berserkers and Berserkers descendants, as well as Norwegian-Warriors whose ONLY Hobby and Life Philosophy; was Battle. If you are related to the Osborns in any way - then you have an Ambitious, Aggressive, Conquering Spirit.
OTHER SPELLINGS: Ausborn, Ausborne, Osborne, Ozborn, Ozborne.

Smith: An English and Scottish occupational name from the Middle English period (1150 – 1470) for someone who works with metal, such as a blacksmith. It was typically a Name taken on to Remind peoples & Generations thereafter the Medieval Period - of the hard-work & discipline of the BlackSmiths, Sword-Taperers and Sword "enhancers". Smith and Blacksmith, though RELATED surnames - sometimes have different locational Origin in England; but both come from the same types of Families - and thus are (ultimately) close Cousins.

West: West is an Ancient Anglo-Saxon (Old English) surname with early Medieval Origins [!]

Although West can also be a German Surname - it is in these cases most likely derived from Germanic Tribes settling in the North Germany area, which was early on a Viking settlement. West's from Germany may be related to the Gothic Peoples who settled Germany.

Woodward: Woodward is a name granted by King William I of England [1] (William The Conqueror) - it is embroidered ON the Bayeux Tapestry where The Noble High-Knight "Wadard" was accompanying William the Conqueror [2] and Williams Half-Brother, where assigned territory became Woodward Territory [3].

Some sources state that Woodward is actually based in Old-England; during the Rule of King Alfred the Great - where it was known as a Name of Antiquity, related to Knights & Noble peoples, who's lowest classes were seen living behind the protection of the Sacred Forests of England.


German Surnames

Bietz/Beitz: German Surname, probably descended off of some Branch of Dietz. Is of Medieval Origin - relates back to German Knights and old Germanic Warriors.*

Bloom: North German; from Schleswig-Holstein, but ultimately of Mixed English & Swedish Origin. With most of the farthest back Blooms, originating in Sweden, as Farmers and possibly some as Slaves, in the Viking Age.

Dietz: German, mostly North German. Seems to originate from those of Nordic Heritage, most likely locals who Married Viking Fathers in North Germany; creating Mixed Germanic Elements - it means "Peoples Ruler".

Fuhrmeister: Middle-German, most likely related to a Mixed Gothic/Visigothic & Roman DNA-type. Some "meisters" may also be related to the Germanic Group "The Vandals" - which may have contributed to Germanys [Germanic] Genetic Pool.

Sietz: A German Surname that derives from "Seifried" and may in definition may come from the personal name "Sieg" - which means VICTORY. The Sietz family was first found in old East Prussia before becoming a uniform German name.



*Some sources suggest links to the "Knights Templar" - however these are unfounded, hysterical Assumptions, IMHO.

Irish Surnames

Conahan/Connahan/Conahen: An Ancient Gaelic-Origin name that Sports the Idea of Wisdom & a Warrior-Lifestyle; also related to Cunningham - which has Norse-Viking Origin [!].

Cunningham: Primarily Scottish, but in the Irish-Origin may be actually be related to several Prominent Medieval Irish Kings [!]. Many Irish-Cunningham families who derive their name from "O'Cunnigan" and Mac Cuinneagain have their Family-Roots rooted in Norse-Viking Settlers in Scotland & Ireland.

Davey: A surname brought to Ireland & England by the Normans [!]

Davitt: A surname brought to Ireland & England by the Normans, once held much wealth and many of their family lines still do [!].

Doyle: Irish, but of Viking Origin meaning "dark foreigner", refers to Mysterious Groups who raided & settled in Dublin, Ireland.

Butler: An Irish Surname - but coming from Rollo the Vikings Gene Line - ultimately of Norman Origin. The Butler-Dynasty is related to Normans who invaded England & Ireland. Then followed by this - they settled in Ireland where they held MAGNIFICENT-Wealth; even today - Butler's by contrast are an EXTREMELY Wealthy-Family.


Gibbins: This historical Irish-surname is also a Norman-surname. The Gibbins family were incredibly wealthy - to this day they are one of the higher-class Families and retain a lot of Wealth [!].

Gregory: As mentioned in this-article of Ours; the Gregory Irish Family is a Unique Family - but one that is most closely linked to the MacGregor's of Scotland & Ireland. 

The MacGregor's were ancient, pivotal Highland Warriors ("highlanders") with a penchant for heavy Sword-swinging, and where needed - DECAPITATION [!].

...Though they were forced into exile by the Imperial, almost tyrannical Scottish-Clan the "Campbells" - but they were never forgotten...and many MacGregor's moved to Ireland, America & Canada as well as Australia - where some 'took the names of Gregory, Gregor, Greig and Gregorius.

  • The surname (last name) MacGregor was actually BANNED in Scotland, under Authority/Command of the Campbell Rule [reference].
  • ...And it was banned in England/UK, during a time of changes & transition from one Medieval Period to the next-Era [reference].

The name "Gregory" means "watchful, awake and aware" and comes from the GREEK term "Gregorios". The surname Gregory thus may have links to Greece & Rome, before it came to Scotland and thus, Ireland.

An alternative Gregory family, which *some* may descend from actually comes from English-Knights & Nobles - who helped England's Ruling Class maintain their Scope of Influence, Power & Societal Order [See-Here].

It is unclear if these also descend from MacGregor's - this family in particular may actually be linked to Alfred the Great [!] as well Augustus the Roman Emperor [!]

The Gregory's have somewhat of an obscure origin before the times of Establishment of Medieval Britain, Scottish Royalty (Robert the Bruce) & Irish Revolutions.

At least one source states the Gregory's descend from the Tribe of Judah; mentioned in the Holy Bible...this seems consistent - and is backed up by several other Sources - indicating a "Holy" heritage for the Gregory/MacGregor families.

Sir Charles Augustus Gregory - in his Legacy also seems to ignite the trail of evidence leading back to Rome - for some of the Gregory's.


Gorman: The Gorman's of Ireland are an ancient clan and ultimately came from ENGLAND in Medieval-Ages [!] and post-medieval Ages, initially, the Gorman's were 'nobles' and Knights. They primarily used SPEARS and heavy-armor for protection of the King's Corridors...and this Line may stem all the way back from the Time of Alfred the Great - King of England.
McGregor/MacGregor: Although generally originating in Scotland - the arrival & success of Conor McGregor - along with his Ancestry Notes, and other McGregor Prodigies, shows that a fair amount of these Families are primarily Irish. Although again, likely (originally) descending from the same Rob Roy McGregor - who was present as a Clan Chief in Scotland.


McVeigh: Irish Name coming from a Celtic Warrior who was known to be an Assassin - back in the Early Days of Irish & Celtic Peoples. From that point on, their Family Name was primarily associated with Irish-Nobles & Royalty as well as Military Generals; displaying Great Courage.

Neeson: reduced 'Anglicized' form of Gaelic Mac Naois ‘son of Naois’, usually Anglicized as McNeese [!]. This historic surname is very high-up on the line of "powerful Irish clans" - and famous actors like Liam Neeson who (legitimately) bear this surname are a great example of how talented & charismatic Neeson descendants, are.

Neeson and the McNeese clans are also DIRECTLY related to Viking-Warriors (via McGinnis Clan/Heritage) from the 11th and 12th centuries. Their Norse heritage seems to trace back to Norway & Denmark - and the Ancestors who trace back to that age were principally involved with raids on Ireland & England. 

Its *possible* that Neeson clans - given their locality to Ireland, specifically Dublin Ireland [REFERENCE] - that they are directly related (descended from) to Ivar the Boneless - who initially settled Dublin, Ireland. He essentially founded that City - along with his Invading Viking crew - searching for new farm-land and a new place to call "Home"...or perhaps a "Throne".

Since the MacGinnis/Guiness clans are directly related to Neeson and McNeese/MacNeese peoples - this PROVES that the Norse-Gaelic nature of the Neeson' families are stronger than initially thought. Since there are many Nordic-Warriors in the MacGinnis lines that go beyond simply "Royalty" - this may explain Liam Neeson's inclination to extreme-success and explains why is he is the Richest Irish actor. [2018 Reference]

O'Rourke: O'Rourke/Rourke are 'famous' Viking-Origin Irish Names which refer to a Viking Leader/Chieftain who KEPT his Army/People in Ireland & settled rather than return home after a Raid [!].

On an Irish-Information Page - there they keep more information/examples regarding the Clan's Hierarchy & Existence - which has been MORE-THAN Prominent - even in Recent Years.


Mickey Rourke is an Actor that descends from the O'Rourke/Rourke Line.

Shannon: An Irish (Gaelic-Origin) Family Name, which may have actually originated in Scotland, most descendants are also related to the McDonald Scottish Clan, and the Highland Campbell Clan. Many Shannons are thus also related to Somerled, and some to Ivar the Boneless; through the tainted McDonald/Campbells, whos Ancestors may have mated (reproduced) with Ivar the Bonelesses offspring.

Today, most Shannons are predominantly Irish, but with Powerful Scottish blood and some Vikings sprinkled in.

In addition - MANY Shannon's (at least in MY-TREE) married other Relatives from the O'Rourke-Dynasty which is related to Norse-Warriors in Dublin & Munster, Ireland as well as Ivar the Boneless is on that line. Hence WHY I am related to BOTH Ivar the Boneless & Ragnar Lothbrok




Stewart/Stuart: An Irish-Norman surname that came to Ireland with the Norman-Invasion led by "Strongbow" [1] - this name is thought to be related to William the Conqueror's Cousins who accompanied him to England [2] and his descendants to Ireland & Scotland. Thus, those who 'bear this surname are (likely) related [DIRECTLY] to William I of England (William the Conqueror) [3]. 


Those who are of English-Descent who bear this surname are astoundingly related to Royalty [4]


The "House of Stewart" generally refers to the Scottish-Royal House that was a Result of Norman-Takeovers & Expansion.

Many Stewarts can claim Lineage/Inheritance from Robert the Bruce - as Walter Stewart married the Daughter of King Robert the Bruce, of Scotland [5]

King Robert II then carried (also) some lines forward [6].

The Norman Invasion of Ireland can be seen as a Major Turning Point in History that introduced the more "Prominent" Irish-Families & Clans to the World - those of "Stewart/Stuart" surnames (probably) have EQUAL DNA from British Isles & Ireland/Scotland, on Ancestry DNA Tests etc.


Stewart means: One who superintends/supervises [!].


Scottish Surnames

Armstrong: A surname of Scottish-origin, which is also found in the UK/London and the United States of America (USA), where it is held by Famous Peoples such as Neil Armstrong; the first Person to Walk on the Moon & Cyclist/Olympian Lance Armstrong. Who maintains a pretty impressive Twitter following. He himself (Lance Armstrong) comes from several lines of "Royal Lineage"; including the Famous Sinclair Bloodline [!].

Cunningham: In many cases a Roman-Scottish surname [1] which was Carried to Scotland by Early-Immigrants originating from the Old-Roman Empire. However, in the VAST-MAJORITY of Cases; Cunningham (Scottish-Families & Irish-Families) are descended from a Norman named "Warnebald" who's descendants took the name Harvey de 'Cunningham & later the Family-Name Cunningham - thus MOST Cunningham Families are ultimately of Norse-Viking Origin [2]

They list their Origin Region as "AYSHIRE" [3] [4] [5] - and are a well-known Scottish Family of Great Antiquity & Power who have a "Warrior-Past" [6].

McGregor/MacGregor: The McGregor Clan or "Clan Gregor" has its Ancestry in the Highlands of Scotland. Where they were known to be those that challenge the Imperial Rule of other Clans - and are known for Rebellion, and even Decapitation of their Enemies.

Polish Surnames

Stanko/Stankovich: Polish surname, but ultimately linked to Vlad the Impalers Gene Line. The Stanko/Stankovich Families; ultimately of [mostly] Slavic-Origin married into the Basarab-Dynasty (Vlad's Family-Name) [!]. Vlad's Younger-Brother; Radu cel Frumos is the Person who carries Vlads Gene Line on and is the actual ORIGIN Transylvanian-Royalty for Prince Charles, George Bush etc.

Doamna Maria & Voichita were Daughters on Radu/Vlad's Line that started the MANY Sprawling-lines that 'led to many English-Origin Families being related to Vlad the Impaler ("Dracula").


Austrian Surnames

NOTE: Even though Austria is considered "Eastern Europe" - most popular Family Names and lineages there began in Germany or come from a German-background [!]. In this discussion on Quora, it notes some important aspects of German-Background/Heritage Austrians.

Schwarzenegger: The surname of Famous Actor, Bodybuilder & Politician, as well as multi-athlete; Arnold Schwarzenegger [!]. This surname is, like many others of Austrian locality - especially those with "Schwarz/Schwarts" in them -  of German-Ancestry/Origins. Thus, even though Arnold defines himself as, and is, Ethnically Austrian - he is ultimately of a German-Type Genetic Background, though he has other attributes as well. He too, has a Popular Twitter Feed; with MILLIONS of Followers.  


Romanian Surnames

Mitchell: The 'Mitchell' Family-Name is actually a Gypsy-Clan Name related to Members of Romanian-Royalty & Princes of Romania [!].

Lithuanian Surnames

Adomaitis: Means "Son of Adam", is a common Lithuanian last name and the surname of the Lithuanian Basketball Player & Coach: Dainius Adomaitis, as well as other Famous peoples from Lithuania - including Linas Adomaitis (lithuanian musician), Juozas Adomaitis-Å ernas (lithuanian scientific Writer) and Regimantis Adomaitis; a Famous Lithuanian Movie & Stage Actor [!]

ORIGINS: The going theory is that Adomaitis, like its English equivalent; Adams, may be have its roots in Baltic/Eastern Countries where the first name of Adam is prevalent. This might be carried through in countries of Early-Christian Coalitions and Traditionalist Views; such as Israel, Syria, Armenia & Hungary. These nations are generally seen (depicted) as the origins of the Adam-based names.

Adomaitis also has a particular prefix at its end - which sounds similar to some Greek surnames...its possible that before Lithuania - some bearing this surname or a Related Surname, may have been GREEK in Origin.

EUROPEAN JEWISH SURNAMES

Gorman: Although Gorman surnames are ALSO Irish - there is a small-selection of Gormans that come from Poland and are (primarily) Polish-Jewish or Hispanic-Jews [!]

Many Gorman's I'VE met had a slightly 'darker' Complexion/Skin-Tone - even the ones WITHOUT Italian or mixed-heritage, which seems to indicate the Gorman's of "Jewish" background may come primarily from Buenos Aires/Argentina, Brazil & Spain - and settled among the Native Tribes.


***OTHER COOL FACTS***

Ireland was actually Invaded MULTIPLE-TIMES past the Year 1,000 and was set into some MAJOR Turmoil/Conflicts over those Years. However, all of these Invasions [effectively] Re-Shaped Ireland into a Stronger, More-United Nation.

The Norman Invasion was *simply* one of the more Prominent ones based on the Uniqueness of Norman-Ethnic Background & their Fierceness in Battle, and desire of Dominance over other Nations.

Richard "StrongBow" De Clare was the Main Figure in the Norman-Invasions to Ireland - there he settled and built Castles to Expand Norman Reign & Influence over a band of Nations who formerly had been united by their Shared "Gaelic" heritage/royalty.

Henry VIII also had played a Role in Norman/Outsider Invasion & Influence in Ireland - though he was not particularly seen as an "Invader" or "Foreign King" - as with the Settlers of DUBLIN, IRELAND...he did have a Remarkable Power-Hold over much of Ireland - and extensive Political Influence in that Time-Period.

Celtic-Thunder - a Page dedicated to Irish Culture, Music, Heritage & Information contains QUITE-A-BIT of RARE *INFORMATION* that can NOT be found elsewhere, on the Internet - or in Historical/Census Documents.
