Question

Does anyone know where you can find the nationality of a last name for free?

Answer 1

I like

http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/defa...

but be warned:

1) 15/16ths of your gg grandparents didn't have that surname

2) Many non-English surnames got Anglicized when their owners came to the USA.

Surname origins are clues, not facts.

Answer 2

Try Names.com or sometimes if you go on one of the baby names sites you can type in a name and it will tell you the nationality.

Answer 3

A basic google search should do it.

Answer 4

tell me the last name and ill tell you.
