What does your last name mean?

It means a lot of stuff I guess.

First of it's the name of the farm on which I grew up (and this in it's turn have some history that I don't really remember).

I have a hard time translating it into english though; My last name is Brickarp, brick would preferally be short for "bricka" which is the Swedish word for "tray". But I don't really know how to translate "arp".

Anyways, like I said, there is some kind of history behind it.

Bofenkamp. Something in german. Teh googles shows nothing. I wonder if there is a way to figure out. Doesn't matter though.

Mine is Reyes and it mean Kings in spanish

Doesn't really mean anything. Here in sweden we have lots of names like Svensson, Andersson, Gustavsson and so on. They all translate into "Son of whatever is put in front of sson". My name is a danish variation of that, so I guess it means "Son of Peder" or maybe Peter in it's origin.

Son of Niels, even though I'm not.

 According to ancestry.com.  
Nguyen: unexplained. This was the family name of a major Vietnamese royal dynasty.     
 
To bad a lot of people were forced to change their surname like 800 years ago because I doubt I am of royal blood. 
 
Other sites say it means "origin". Hmmm...I was kinda hoping for "party" on that one.

I have no idea. According to THIS site my family originated from Lanarkshire Scotland. Wish i knew what it meant. All i know is that many generations ago some brothers got into a fight about something and denounced each other which caused one group of them to change their last name to be spelt Totten.
 
Found this: 
The name Totten is most likely from Toten, Norway. The Old Norse form of the name was Þótn. The meaning is unknown (maybe "the pleasant district"). It is highly probable that some of the Germanic tribes (Toten) migrated to Norway and settled the area know as Toten. Later migrating to Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England. Google the words "Toten Norway" and browse the results.

Please look up the word in German. It means "dead", most likely for undertaker or executioner, which is certainly a nobler definition than "fool, idiot, or little foxes" - the etiology that English sources espouse. The attempts to link the name Totten to an English orgin is disambiguation (balderdash) based on limited information when the Doomsday book was written.

Also, check out Die Toten Hosen "The Dead Trousers (or Deadbeats)" a German Rock band.

From Wikipedia:

The name originally derives from smið or smiþ, the Old English term meaning one who works in metal related to the word Wikt:Ssmitan, the Old English form of smite, which also meant strike (as in early 17th century Biblical English: the verb "to smite" = to hit). The Old English word smiþ comes from the Proto-Germanic word smiþaz. Smithy comes from the Old English word smiððe from the Proto-Germanic smiðjon. The use of Smith as an occupational surname dates back to Anglo-Saxon times, when inherited surnames were still unknown: Ecceard Smith of County Durham was recorded in 975.
