Last Name Meanings Dictionary

Behind the Name - the Etymology and History of Surnames

I haven't tried either, but those two look the best from a google search. My family tree is another one of my on-again off-again obsessive hobbies.


Hrm..... just tried both and they kinda suck, honestly. I'll keep looking though, I know I found a good site last year.
