Is your surname derived from the word for smith in your language? If yes, do you know anything about your ancestor who practiced the noble art of smithery? Do you also intend to work the forge in order to honor your ancestors? This is a thread for people whose surname points to their ancestors having practiced smithery. All Smiths, Schmidts, Kowalskis etc. welcome.
>>220796425now let me tell you something Jaroslawfamily names are overrated and have nothing to do with your ancestors in most of the caseswhy is that you will ask...because you have 2 parents and 4 grandparents those are 6 people which original had 6 different family namesSo just because your name is Miller it doesent mean your ancestors were Millers. Maybe some of your 1/10000 ancestors was a Miller back in the days but he could also was a pimp or a loser or a famous general.Family names actually mean nothing , only when you are from a noble family like Jaroslaw von Polakenhausen and your ancestors did incest than your surname would still have a meaning but otherwise surnames are just like the wind

>>220796425Many years ago there was one american anon who posted about how his surname (smith) indicated himself as belonging to the noble family which invented metalworking. His posts came with a generic coat of arms for said family as well. And his source was some shitty website which compiled those fake descriptions for those supposed noble dynasties - like miller, cooper and hunter.
