It is surname. Did you past 2nd grade?

Answer 5

A SURNAME is your last name;it is your family name. It only tells you so much about you;to find out more about your origins,you need to do have done, a search of your lineage.Your surname helps in the search.

An aristocratic title is a different matter;if your family is of a branch that is entitled to use an honorific of "sir" or "lord," et cetera,it is possible that the family has held ties to the gentry and monarchy for sometime,that your family did some sort of service that a monarch felt needed payment and honors due.

Answer 6

Sir is an English honorific used in several modern contexts.

It was once used (without the person's name) as a courtesy title among equals, but in common usage it is now usually reserved for one of superior rank or status, such as an educator or commanding officer, or in age (especially by a minor); as a form of address from a merchant to a customer; in formal correspondence (Dear Sir, Right Reverend Sir); or to a stranger (Sir, you've dropped your hat).
