What type of last name do I have?
Surname: Stothart This interesting surname is of English metonymic occupational origin for a keeper or breeder of horses, deriving from the old English pre 7th Century "stod" meaning stud plus "hierde" a herdsman or keeper. Prior to the 17th Century "stud" denoted a place where horses were kept for breeding as opposed to the latter day definition of a place where a collection of horses were bred by one person. The first element may also be the old English "stott" meaning an inferior kind of horse or bullock; hence "keeper of bullocks". The surname is first recorded in the early 13th Century (see below). One, William Stothard, appears in the 1279 Hundred Rolls of Cambridgeshire and John le Stothirde, is noted in the 1297 Subsidy Rolls of Yorkshire. In the modern idiom, the surname has many variant spellings including Stothart, Stothert, Stuttard, Stoddard, Stothart, etc.. On July 30th 1679, the marriage of Elizabeth Stothard and Alexander Tomson took place at St. Katherine by the Tower, London and Charles, son of Thomas and Mary Stothard was christened at St. Dunstan's, Stepney, on June 22nd 1692. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Geoffrey Stodhurd, which was dated 1219, in the Curia Regis Rolls of Northamptonshire, during the reign of King Henry 111, known as "The Frenchman", 1216 - 1272. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling. http://www.surnamedb.com/surname.aspx?na...

What type of last name is vradenburg?
Names ending in "burg" (this means "town" or "village" in the German language) are traditionally German. Your ancestors may have borne that name, but have also been English - either by moving to England during modern times, or being earlier Angle/Saxon/Jute invaders that settled in present day England. Your name is pronounced "Fraden" in German, as in "ferry". If pronounced "Vraden" in German, it likely was originally spelled with a "W", which provides the "v" sound as in "very" in the German alphabet. Look for towns with that name on the net - there likely is one, or was one, with that name. Check houseofnames.com for potential origins of people bearing derivatives of that name/spelling of that name.
What type of last name is this??
It's based on one of the Romance languages...but it could be from most any of them...French, Italian, Spanish...it could even be Romansch...Romanian or Bulgarian. None of those languages has a private stake in a name like that. Any country that spoke a Romance language could have people with a name like Florendo popping up...especially if they cultivated flowers.
What type of last name is...?
I found this for you, Surname: Owens Recorded as Owens and occasionally Owenson, this is a Royal Welsh surname, being, it is claimed, descent from the ancient tribes of North Wales. It is a patronymic of Owen, which is derived either from the ancient Celtic personal name Owain, adapted from the Latin "Eugenius", meaning "well-born", or from the Old Welsh word "oen", meaning the lamb. Given the warrior status of the clan, this seems an unlikely explanation. Owain or Owen has long been one of the most popular of all Welsh personal names, and some thirty-nine Owains are featured in ancient Welsh legends. Hereditary surnames were a later adoption in Wales than almost any other European country, not becoming 'fixed' until the 17th century/ Examples of the name recording include Owen Gwynedd, a 12th Century chieftain, and Owen Glendower (Owain Glyndwr), 1353 - 1416, the greatest hero of Welsh history. He was the Prince of Wales who established the Welsh parliaments and nearly became an independent king of Wales, but was defeated by Henry 1V of England. The personal name was first recorded in England in 926, in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, as "Uwen", and the much later coat of arms has the unusual blazon of a red field, charged with six gold pineapples. The first recorded spelling of the family name in any form may be that of Ralph Owein. This was dated 1221, in the Assize Rolls of Warwickshire", during the reign of King Henry 111rd of England, 1216 - 1272. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling. Hope this helps

What is the meaning of "first name" and "last name"?Given-names: these are the names given to children by their parents (or, rarely, are changed by the children).Family-names (otherwise known as surnames): these are the names passed down from generation to generation (except in Iceland).Example 1: Mary Elizabeth Smith has two given-names and one family-name. If she calls herself Mary, then she has a first name, can use a middle initial, and has no problem with the forms.

It depends on the local area where you are looking for this last names. But generally Slavonic surnames (and Ukrainian ones particularly) are different from Europeans or Americans last names. They are very historical and were formed long ago in XV-XVIII ages. There are some moments that you can notice, because last names meant something. Of course, now it's just last names which just point to some family tree.There are some classic popular types of last names:Huge popular part of last names comes from the names. For example, if the father had name "Anton", his son was called with the "Antonich" last name and so on — "Andrukhovych", "Antonovich", "Fіlevich", "Dashkevich", "Yakubovich", "Bazilevich", "Davidovich", "Zaharkevkch"... "Andrusyak", "Hrycak", "Yurchak", "Ganusyak"...Last names with "enko" or "chuk" end. Hard to explain, but these parts of word (especially "enk") usually means some "little" or "foolish" or "childish" thing. For example, dad Ivan has son and people called that son "Ivanenko" (that's last name!) or "Ivanchuk". Same rules for other popular names and also for different words like "parubok" (means "boy") — last name was (and still is) "Parubchuk". Examples — "Gannenko", "Katrenko", "Petrenko", "Marusenko", "Motrenko"A lot of last names comes from man's occupation. For example, potters ("gonchar") had "Gonchar" last name, millers ("melnik") had "Melnyk" last name (that's my last name! I am Anton Melnyk) and so on. Tkachenko, Kolesnik , Sklyar , Olіynik , Kuhar...There are plenty of last names with joke-like words. Example — carpenters could be called "Dubohryzenko" or "Korotsyupenko" which means "to nibble oak" and "to touch bark". That's funny and hard to explain, really. Koshkodav , Shklobiy , Kozoriz...Same rules you can apply for musicians and poets, they have last names in the name of instruments or something like that. "Spivak" ("singer"), "Skrypach" ("violinist") and so on. Of course, that doesn't mean that THESE days surname's holders are singers or violinists.Big part of surnames are cossacks-age last names. "Kozachenko", "Sichovyk", "Koshoviy"...And so on!The main point — all these historical last names are still in use and you can often meet them. Especially in countryside area.I hope that was interesting. Best regards, Melnyk :)
