Here's the desc. for the last name of a friend:

...Coat of Arms contains A silver shield with a cubit arm in red issuing from the sinister side of the shield, holding a scian blade entwined with a serpent. The Crest is A gold falcon alighting.

That seems pretty cool. Better than some damn seashells and a chevron!

Dang it! My last name: Eeyottababyeetzaboy doesn't have a coat of arms! I feel cheated!
 
2002-06-30 12:19:02 AM
Heh, they hosed mine. My ancestor isn't from Yorkshire, he was a Hugenot, trying to escape the bloody French.
 
2002-06-30 12:21:14 AM
Scraping-fetus-off-the-wheel: heh.

I already know what my surname means, and unless these guys can tell me that my family are indeed the undisputed heirs to the Scottish throne, then frankly I ain't interested in them. :D

this website sucks


I was going to type the same thing
 
2002-06-30 12:31:23 AM
"The family motto is Nihil sine labore." Nothing without work? Damn, I guess I'll have to try harder.
 
2002-06-30 12:32:35 AM
They don't even have the last names Ikonen or Alaniemi. What the hell is the matter with it?
 
2002-06-30 12:33:52 AM
Sorry, we do not have the name assclown in our database.
 
2002-06-30 12:36:58 AM
Family motto is 'Domine', root of dominate, mastery, lord, etc. Score!

No wait, it doesn't mean jack since it doesn't affect me in the least bit. I wish I had better things to do..
 
2002-06-30 12:42:48 AM
No "Cartaya" in Database, yes that is my last name.
 
2002-06-30 12:45:49 AM
Peeler. Comes from the term 'Pealer' which were a "headknocking/club swinging" division of the London constabulary back in the mid to late 1800's. Sort of a 'special forces' of the time. I'm so proud.

2002-06-30 12:56:19 AM
really wrong. They have my husband's family as being English and not Scots (which is a really big difference). Don't even have my maiden name.
 
2002-06-30 01:01:43 AM
Oh no. My ancestors started the first trailer park. The pink flamingos were wooden back then.
 
2002-06-30 01:05:03 AM
Damn_Conservative_Media: Neither here nor there, really, but back in the Fifties, my grandparents lived across the street from a Loser family.
 
2002-06-30 01:07:59 AM
hmmmm....these people advertise on dictionary.com...just thought youd all like to know....
 
2002-06-30 01:08:39 AM
It doesnt actually show your coat of arms...it's just an example. They charge to e-mail your coat of arms, so they're not going to show it to you so you can right-click-save.
 
2002-06-30 01:11:00 AM
The last name Honky comes from The Jeffersons?

Well, WTF?
 
2002-06-30 01:13:00 AM
Actually my Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather was a black man

That would explain the nappy hair
 
2002-06-30 01:13:02 AM
translation for suckers: give us money and we'll tell you who you are, stranger.
 
2002-06-30 01:20:02 AM
hoosier, nope

redneck, nope

bumpkin, nope

hillbilly, nope

honkie, nope

Guess i'll have to use this as my family crest:
 
2002-06-30 01:23:05 AM
Hmm...
The last name "Farker"...
The coat of arms is...
A right hand.

Does this have anything to do with boobies and kittens on Fark??
 
2002-06-30 01:24:01 AM
I never trust a pay site that has so many typos
 
2002-06-30 01:32:00 AM
They don't have name origins, they just have the first people in this country who had your name. And they weren't even from the country where my name originated. Cheap!
 
2002-06-30 01:46:01 AM
This website blows!!! I looked up my family name, it told me that I come from an old Irish family. The history it gave was completely wrong, and matches nothing that is inside the narrative my Grandfather got from our ancestral castle in SCOTLAND!!!!
 
2002-06-30 01:56:24 AM
Spelling variations include: Cock, Cocke, Koke, Cocks, and others.

Gonna' be a battlefleet of mighty mad Klingons here soon.

Vominator
also available at local crappy county fairs all over the US

So true! I had one of those damn scrolls hanging on my wall after I wasted $20 on it at a county fair. Hey, it still looks impressive in a frame if nobody looks too closely at it....


and it's Worf, not Whorf... ;)

2002-06-30 03:26:13 AM
I don't get it. Everyone in the family uses the same toothpaste? I prefer aquafresh over crest....
 
2002-06-30 03:44:09 AM
no peterson crest? what a crock of shiat
 
2002-06-30 04:00:58 AM
My parents wasted their money on this scam. You don't get any real info on your name from these jerk-offs, just a lot of rambling on about how old your name is and where it originated. I actually found a whole lot of useful info about my last name at my local library.
 
2002-06-30 04:03:14 AM
I also know for a fact that there is no crest or coat of arms for my last name, and yet these idiots made up one.
 
2002-06-30 04:06:03 AM
Qwerty: I made a crest and coat of arms for your last name years ago, you goddamn liar
 
2002-06-30 04:16:02 AM
"Sorry, we do not have the name Hitler in our database."
 
2002-06-30 06:10:04 AM
Er... S-M-I-T-H.

Pretty obvious what my surname means. If you really wanna find out what your surname means and what coat of arms is attached to it, there are plenty of reasonably priced surname dictionaries out there.
 
2002-06-30 09:58:29 AM
Whoa, hey! Fudd has the same family history as I do!

Yup, we were tossed out of Ireland for being horse thieves. One of the first residents of Georgia, back when it still served as a prison colony.

Now isn't THAT a great family origin. Banditry.

But this site doesn't have anything on either side of my family. Not even the Spanish conquistador side. Bah.
 
2002-06-30 11:22:40 AM
just thought i'd share that my family crest is a squirl cracking a nut... WTF? any one know what this means:

Non nobis tantum nati
 
2002-06-30 11:52:29 AM
I'm related to Baroness Elizabeth Rose. My ancestral home is now a bed-and-breakfast. :P
 
2002-06-30 11:54:23 AM
Present day famous bearers of your name.




I'm surprised Britney's name didn't come up. I usually get some smart-ass asking if I'm related to Britney. I say, yeah, she's my HUSBAND'S third cousin and we had her over at our house for the holidays.

And no one believes me.... :)
 
2002-06-30 12:25:27 PM
This would be cool if it actually told me something.
