"Virtue is Valuable" apparently.
What does your last name mean?
Mine is Persaud, and apparently it's food we Hindu people use to pray...or something like that. I'm not that big on religion here.
"Leader of men"...not that it's ever helped me in anyway. I take'em to the watering hole and they never even take a sip.
Mine apprently doesn't mean anything. Except confirms some German ancestry and a few people in germany who I thought never existed.
My last name is "Osorio"
That literally translates (from Spanish to English) to "bear river".
Kinda nutty, huh?
Irish, from the Anglicized form of the Gaelic "O' Fallamhain", a descendant of Fallamhan, meaning "leader", from "follamhnas, supremacy. Fallon, common name in Ireland, was not recorded there until 1585 (Dysart, Athlone, County Roscommon). The surname can be found as Fallon, O' Fallon, O' Fallo(w)ne, Fal(l)oon and Fallen, and can also be found as Hallon, from the Gaelic O' Fhallamhain. In Ireland the name is mainly found in Counties Galway and Roscommon. (My grandad is from Roscommen)
Martyn- Martin-There is a y instead of an i. Anyways it means warlike.
Smyth- Smith -There is a y instead of an i . Guess
Irish surnames tend to replace I's with Y's to show that they are not english.

From Surnamedb.com:
Recorded in over seventy spellings forms including Robert, Robart, Robb, and Rupert, which is from the same root, to Luparti of Italy, Rubke and Ruppertz of Germany, Rops and Rubbens of Flanders, Roberts and Robertson of England and Scotland, this is a surname of pre 7th century Germanic origins. It derives from the male given name "Hrodbeorht", a compound consisting of the elements "hrod", meaning renown, and "beorht", bright or famous. This type of (originally) baptismal name, was very popular throughout Europe for many centuries, and has remained so today. Like the name Ro(d)ger with which it shares a similar ancestry, it was 'adopted' by the Norsemen as they swept through Northern Europe on their march of conquest which took them to Normandy (the home of the North men), in the 10th century. The final joining of the circle was to introduce the name into Britain after The Conquest of 1066. As Rodbertus, Rotbert and Robert, the name is recorded in the famous Domesday Book of 1086. It was adopted as a surname in Europe in the latter half of the 13th Century, and early recordings include: John Roberd, in the Hundred Rolls of Berkshire, dated 1279, Counrad Ruprecht of Eblingen, Germany, in 1282, and William Robert, in the Fines Court Rolls of the county of Essex, England, in 1292. Other recordings of the medieval period include Richard Roberdes, which was dated 1327, in the Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire, England, Neyneke Robeken of Hannover, Germany, in 1359, and Eberlin Rubbart, of Stuttgart, Bavaria, in 1445. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
" My last name means strong affection or attraction toward a noun.My last name is "love" "Hahaha,nice one.
My last name is Gabriel.... from what I found that name means "Hero of God" or "God's able-bodied one" in Hebrew. Gabriel is also the name of the archangel Gabriel (The Angel of Death) in Christianity.
I'm Catholic, so the Hebrew translation doesn't mean much to me but everything I've found is connected to some type of God or spiritual figure. Odd because I am probably the least religious person in the world...
