What does your Surname literally mean?

[eddfire3]

"The gente" as in I am a gentleman? Or I am aristocracy?

 

[oagersnap]

Dieschmelleendevoneinesfelds?

Not quite..

 

[warpus]

My last name literally means: "The defender of women and consumer of bacon"

 

[Elta]

Dude that is so awesome.

 

[Steph]

Good it's not the other way around. Consumer of women would have made you pass for a Casonava, but defender of bacon would have sound silly.

 

[Stolen Rutters]

I'm not sure actually. Bacchus was the Roman equivalent, but I mean Dionysos. Not sure if it's the same bloke under a different name.

I almost suggested Dionysius/Dionysus, but Bacchus sounded more rare. Dionysus is seen today as Dennis. Bacchus is seen nowhere.

I got Smith. About as common as you can get.

Mine is one of those names like "Archer," "Smith," "Mason," etc. It is really obvious what my last name means, but i don't feel like divulging what it is on the Internetz.

None of you guys can ever beat a surname meaning: "The all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to win, goes from conquest to conquest, leaving fire in his wake."

A variation of a name that means decended from the champion.

It isn't all that common outside of the west of Ireland.

 

[Millman]

I think it means something. I'm not sure what but it's an object in a game.

 

[Mad Man]

A variation of a name that means descended from the champion.

Mine means a descended from a chimp

 

[Elta]

MacChimp.

I like it.

 

[Catharsis]

But if MacChimp means 'descended from a chimp', then really's surname must be:

cool I also have a coat of arms! Make way for the royal prince

 

[Dachs]

All I remember about my family coat of arms is that it has the legend "Aquila non captat muscas" on it. No, it's not the first few that show up on Google Image Search either.
