Quote :

"This most unusual name is of early medieval English origin, and is one of that fascinating group of early surnames that were gradually created from the habitual use of nicknames. These were given in the first instance with reference to a variety of distinguishing qualities, such as physical attributes or peculiarities, mental and moral characteristics, and personal relationships. In this case, the surname Friend, also found as Frend, derives from the Middle English "frend", friend, a development of the Olde English pre 7th Century "freond", which was used as a nickname for a particularly friendly, companionable person. In the Middle Ages the term was also used of a relative or kinsman, so the surname may in some cases have been acquired by someone who belonged to the family of a more important figure in the community."

My (new) last name is the most common surname in the UK, Australia, and the US. It is the second most common in Canada and fifth most common in Ireland.

The name originally derived from the Old English term meaning "one who works in metal".


None of this comes as any surprise to me

German: metonymic occupational name for anyone whose work involved the use of an instrument for pounding, crushing, or beating, from German Bleil(e) ‘pestle’, ‘beater’.


And everybody thinks that Bliley is Irish; they're dead wrong. I knew it was Americanized, from Bleile...from the state of Baden-Wurttemberg in southwest Germany.
