Sweden! Smaland specifically.
That's a bit vague- there's at least six distinct ethnicities in there.British.
If anyone knows the ethnic origins of the name "Frame" please do tell. Thats my last name and its probably quite uncommon since i have never met anyone with the same last name.
It could be linked to the Swedish word "framme", which means... Well, I can't translate it literally, so I'll give you examples of how it can be used:
"Är vi framme snart?"
"Are we there soon?"
"Han kom fram igår."
"He arrived yesterday."
"Låt mig komma fram!"
"Let me come through!"
"Jag satt längst fram."
"I sat in the front."
Maybe some older Swedish spelling?It does make sense in the context of emigration, in the sense of "arriving" to a new place like in the first example.
Apparently, you had very unassertive ancestors!I checked out "Frame" on ancestry.com and it seems to be mostly scottish. I have no idea when my ancestors came to this country though so its hard to determine where they came from.
