>It's time for my ancestors to choose a last name>They choose one denoting our family history of thousands of years of peasantryWhy are Euros like this?
>>224523778Most last names aren't chosen.
they just thought it was a fad from the latest ruler and probably didnt care that much
>>224523778ain't nothing wrong with peasantryhereditary nobility just means one of your ancestors did something significant that may or may not have benefitted the people. most of the time it was achieving a high rank in the military.whereas descent from a line of peasants means all of them had to do something useful to survive and procreate.
>>224523808That's how we ended up with niggas who have poepjes (poopies) or naaktgeboren (born naked) as a last name. Napoleon made last names obligatory, some people came up with joke names because they thought they wouldn't last, the officials didn't give a fuck and wrote the names down.
>>224523778>Why are Euros like this?G*rmanics you mean, Slvvs have last names derived from patronyms, locations or respected family lineages as well as respected professions such as blacksmith or sailor.
>It's time for my ancestors to choose a last name>Kong Jia, the fourteenth king of the Xia dynasty, was given a male and a female dragon as a reward for his obedience to the god of heaven; yet he could not train them, so he hired a dragon-trainer named Liu Lei (劉累) [zh], who had learned how to train dragons from Huanlong. Liu Lei was a descendant of Emperor Yao, and won the admiration of King Kong Jia for his skill at dragon-rearing. To reward Liu Lei, King Kong Jia granted him a place called Liu as his fiefdom. Liu Lei took the name of his fief as his family name. One day, the female dragon died unexpectedly, so Liu Lei secretly chopped her up, cooked her meat, and served it to the king, who loved it so much that he demanded Liu Lei to serve him the same meal again. Since Liu Lei had no means of procuring more dragon meat, he fled the palace.
>>224523778Americans would pick surnames like Swaggy or I'S THE RICHEST IN DA VILLAGE So yeah I prefer to have an adjective as my surname I'm very much fine with it
>>224523890t. shumacher
>>224523778They didn't chose, at some point it was useful to give last name to distinguish people because population was growing, so the administration just put the trade name to the first name.
My surname means „over <rivername>” in one word. Very pesant/very, very poor nobility surname
>>224524453Why do you live over a river?My last name is from some old-Russian name + ov.
>>224523778Pretty sure people didn't "choose" their surname, and also I can't think of any name that refers to a family history of peasantry unless you're literally named Peasant (Paysan) which is a rather rare name.
>>224523778Our names don't work like that.
>>224524511>unless you're literally named Peasant"Bauer" is quite common here which means exactly that, besides that low tier occupations such as "Weber" (seamster), "Schäfer" (sheep herder), "Schuster"/"Schumacher" (cobbler) etc.
>>224524604>t. peasntssonssonsson
>>224524057go back denis
>>224524646Nope, I have a common soldier name.
>>224524697>Mast (Mast)
>>224523778im literally the opposite, i have a surmane that denotes history of nobility but i'm a poorfag
>>224524057BODIED that freak
>>224523778At least you're not like me. My surname is literally the adjective for a city, which makes many people to think I'm from there.>>224523966Based Napoleon dabbing on the eternal dutch.
>>224524632*Weber means weaver of course, seamster would mean Näher which is not a name, not that it matters anyways.
>>2245237782 kinds of last names in norwegianpatronymic (-sen) (landless peasants) and name of farmstead (landowning families)any other name is foreign, usually d*nish
>>224523778Occupational surnames are the ultimate cuckstamp
>>224528593Better than "of-so-and-so"Nigga, we want to know who you are, not where you are from.
>>224526680How can you be a peasant without land?
>>224523778my last name meaning "handsome" in arabic
>>224530650Are you?
>>224530650Don't you guys have Austronesian last names?
we didn't get surnames until the 1980s so we could get birth certificates
>>224524057This happens among germanics too
>>224531284You're right, even Angloids are more based (Williams, Jackson, Jefferson etc.) it just never happens in German for some reason, our most common names are all occupational and mostly shitty ones at that, apparently we are the original bug people.
>>224523806agreed. I give people at the office nicknames based upon their professions. Our work is pretty cool tho so the names sound badass
>>224530608"Cottagers" (torpparit) had no land, they rented it from Peasants. To be a Peasant (talonpoika) you had to own your land. Also farmhands (renki) are the same, ie. farmworkers without land
>Jews forced to finally take surnames>it's all involving money, gems, stones, rocks, mountains (with gems in them)
>>224532910Idk man. There is a poetic quality to some ashkenazi names. Rosenthal (Valley of Roses) for example is pretty cool.
>>224523778>It's time for my ancestors to choose a last->Lol no, they're just given the surname of the last guy that owned them
>>224523778Ok
>>224534053Yeah but you're black so have unlimited access to white pussy
>>224523778Majority of last names here was assigned by officials in the 1800s. Our trad system for plebs was just fathers name + son
>>224530534My last name is a farmstead in Finnmark
I don't know what my last name means. My last name is "Jerman" and I can trace it to colonial Connecticut and then my FamilySearch profile edited one day claims turns into "Gorham." One day it was able to trace back to some village in Normandy, but now it's been edited again so that it stops in Northamptonshire, so I still have no idea what it means. Also I got black pilled one day reading at the haplotype of one of the old Gorham patriarchs I would then supposedly be descended from was different from my own (I1 instead of R1b) which means it's either erroneous, or there was adoption, or some false paternity, which makes it harder to know what to even think.
>>224537544YOU are blackpilled? I searched the region of my probable ancestors and was met with this smart looking bloke as an example, and you're blackpilled?!
>>224537699That's clearly a species of nordic alien and you should feel proud. Read the Book of Mormon if you want to learn your roots back to Father Lehi, my Lamanite chum.
Insulting nicknames given by the community to its members were common, like King/Duke, Sausage/other synonyms for penis, baldy, geezer, child, etc., and these surnames were usually written down by the local priest.
>>224532910Ashkenazi Jewish surnames are amongst the most beautiful of all.
Many surnames in France are just adjectives, like Legrand (the tall) or Leroux (the ginger) etc.Apparently the ones that are good traits like Legrand are ironic, meaning the first one to be called Legrand was actually a manlet.My surname is among these and I think it's just cope from some dude called Petit (short) or something.
>>224523778except from the -sen / -son ending its very common to have placenames as last names. this can be confusing, if a family for instance left for usa and someone else bought their farm they would just take the name of the farm. but they are not related at all to the other family carrying their name. same if two houses or farms lay really close they could choose the same last name without having any relations.
>>224523778people were proud of their profession , they were usually good at it to keep doing it for many generations
