Quote : | "This unusual and interesting surname is derived from the Middle English, Old French given name "Aubri", itself coming from the Germanic personal name "Alberic", composed of the elements "alb" meaning elf plus "ric", power, hence, "elf-ruler". It may also come from the much rarer female name "Albreda", composed of the Germanic elements "alb", plus "red", counsel, "elf-counsel". Finally, it may be derived from the Olde English pre 7th Century personal name "Aelfric", composed of the elements "oelf", elf, plus "ric" meaning kingdom, hence "elf-kingdom". The surname dates back to the late 13th Century." |
Honestly, the thing that I think of when I see my last name is the f'ing Death Eater from HP. >_>

After doing a quick search through a bunch of websites, I've determined the internet is dumb. A couple sites didn't even have my last name as an option and the others all had VERY different meanings from each other. One of the places even had the wrong country of origin.
I'll have to go home and break out our family book that has all the history, crest, etc. sometime soon b/c now I'm curious. It even has names and addresses of all the families in the US! (Yes, my last name is that uncommon that we can have a directory haha!) 1/9/2011 3:41:20 PM |
