The roots of your surname..

[baroz]

Are perhaps Italian?

 

[SanderThomas]

lol, what's in a name

Just to make this a general surname roots topic:

My mother's called Tschaikowski, said to be related to the composer (even tho the spelling of the name has changed over the years). I hope one day the Tschaikowski blood in me starts to take over my musical expressions

 

[Higon]

Tschaikowski

Damn hard to spell, pronounce and write. =-o

Now that's general: My surname is "Noveli". Totally Italian. I've heard that there's a region in Italy with this name, but I don't have a fucking clue. Maybe our new friend Baroz know about it.

 

[baroz]

No, there isn't a region with that name... Are you sure?

 

[Higon]

I don't have a fucking clue

=P

Are perhaps Italian?

Well, Di Giorgio isn't Chinese!
Seriously though, it's definitely Italiano. My Grandparents immigrated from Italy I think around the late 1930's early 1940's. I'm pretty sure they came from a town called Pignataro Interamna (I might be a bit off on the spelling).

So, my name is Wlodarczyk. In Polish (I`d ratehr say - in the old type of this language that can be found in old Polsih books) "wlodar" means same as "leader" so I don`t wanna keep my nose high just bcuz my name would determined me to do this

At least I`m a Polish leader in having pictures taken with my two favs bassplayers:

My surname is 'Ziolkowski' - comes from 'ziolko' or 'ziolo' which means officially all types of healing weed's, but more popular meaning is connected to MJ and I like it. The 'ski' ending means (same as polish surnames edings as 'cki' or 'czyk' ) that my roots are connected to some higher members of society (in medieval or sth ).

[the polish bastard]

My surname is Szkwarek, IT polish but i dont know what it means , maybe one of the poles can tell me !!

 

[Burning46&2]

'Szkwarek' sounds similar to 'skwarek' which means.. huh.. its name of these tiny pices of roasted meat in soup I'm serious!

 

[MardyAss]

Jacobsen....pretty normal...but my middle name, Sigmarsson, makes me more viking than any of you MWAH!

 

[the polish bastard]

I heard the Szkwarek were a noble family in the 1700's-1800's but you know my parents might have been teely me lies just to make the szkwarek name look good!

 

[Vintersorg]

I haven't figured out from which country "V" originates.....hahahahaha

mr V

 

[HippieOfDoom]

Yes, but it's pronounced "wee" so it's definitely Germanic...or Russian! Possibly indigenous native American...?

 

[MardyAss]

I thin its more.....espanõl...you know, they are crazy with v's.

Or maybe its nordic. Yeh, definately.
