Family Names And Surnames

Family Names And Surnames

August 21, 2025

Surnames are a window into family history, often revealing occupations, locations, or ancestry. In Europe, names like Smith (blacksmith) or Taylor (tailor) emerged in the Middle Ages, while Hill or Ford denoted geographic origins. In Iceland, patronymic surnames like Jnsdttir (daughter of Jn) change each generation, tying families directly to parents. In East Asia, names like Kim in Korea reflect clan lineages. Surnames help families trace their roots through genealogical records, connecting them to cultural or regional histories.
