Type your parents surnames into "google detect language" does it get your surname origin right or wrong?

[Hawkguy]

[Lucas]

[Kaspias]

If I write it in Greek format, it is Greek. If I write it in Turkish format, it is Turkish. If I write it in Bulgarian format, it is Bulgarian.

Officially I use both Greek and Turkish format in my passports, so...

[TheMaestro]

[gixajo]

My 16 first surnames are all Spanish.

Further back, I have only my maternal surnames.

[gixajo]

Type your parents surnames into "google detect language" does it get your surname origin right or wrong?

Can I know your Basque surname?

[henry007]

[paradox]

Father- my dad has 2 surnames from his paternal side in his passport. The first was changed about 3-4 generations ago and that comes up as Greek.
The second one and the one we currently use comes up as Corsican.

[Crimea-Khan]

My Father surname is only found Avestan and Thracian language, I don't know why show Basque

[gixajo]

It´s my incel opinion.:)

[itilvolga]

Paternal grandpa’s surname: Turkish
Paternal grandma’s surname: Turkish
Maternal grandpa’s surname: Turkish
Maternal grandma’s surname: French (wrong)

[Blemoir]

Mother: Both Portuguese.

All correct.

[paradox]

If I write it in Greek format, it is Greek. If I write it in Turkish format, it is Turkish. If I write it in Bulgarian format, it is Bulgarian.

Officially I use both Greek and Turkish format in my passports, so...I used English because I didn't want to make it too easy for Google.

[Luke35]

Father - Hungarian detected
Mother - English detected. (weird, it's an obviously German name)

[El_Abominacion]

Father's surname: Latvian?

Mother's surname: English?

[Terminator98]

Father: Bosnian
Mother: Croatian

Well, surname of my father is commonest among Bosnian (Hercegovina to be more precise) Serbs so I suppose this is correct.

About my mom, she is full Serb but her surname is present among Serbs and Croats in same proportion so this is not wrong too. :)

[Ford]

Father Croatian, mother Bosnian

[CommonSense]

My paternal grandfather was born in Bosnia so it's sort of accurate.

[Blondie]

both german

[Coastal Elite]

Father: Romanian
Mother: English (really an Irish surname but common in England as well)

[Ülev]

Vlachic to the core





















(just kidding)

[Moje ime]

This doesn't detect Serbian language at all even for most possible Serbian names. Only Bosnian language instead.

[Damião de Góis]

It detects portuguese for both.

[Ülev]

that has no sense, polish surname Gajda can be of Baltic origin (polonised) from Gaidys (Lithuanian) or Gaidis (Latvian) but instead of that it could caused something like Bularian Gayda or Albanian Gajde

[Dušan]

This doesn't detect Serbian language at all even for most possible Serbian names. Only Bosnian language instead.

It detects Serbian language if words are written in Cyrillic alphabet.

In my case, both surnames written on Cyrillic alphabet - Serbian, on Latin alphabet - Bosnian.

[InfamousAngel99]

There are multiple places of origin for my surname, and I haven't traced where my ancestors came from before they settled in the US so I can't say for sure if the origin is right or wrong.
However, my mother's maiden name is correct—Norwegian.

[calxpal]

Fathers surname: French (correct)
Mothers surname: English (correct I guess, It's Gaelic)

[andre]

Father: Kannada
Mother: Samoan

Nice.

[Beowulf]

Paternal: Spanish ( guessed correctly )

Maternal: English (not correct)

[meliton]

Father - Polish
Mother - Basque

Both wrong :picard2:

[Cybele]

Maternal – Corsican (wrong, the origin is Greek)
Paternal- Romanian. When I write it the way I’ve seen this surname written in old documents, it says Polish.

[Nausevar]

On detectlanguage.com
Father: Serbian (it's almost an only Serbian surname, curiously a shorter version is exclusively Croatian, and I saw another similar version among Jews from eastern europe)
Mother: Croatian (it's a common surname both among Croats and Serbs)

[Saba]

Father: Arabic
Mother: Arabic

This is when I wrote it in perso-arabic script. Both make sense I suppose.

When written in Latin script I got Swahili for my father and Hindi for my mom.

[Chron]

Mother:
English (wrong)

Father:
Latin script: Slovenian (wrong)
Cyrillic: Russian (wrong)

Nice

Edit: BUT, if I give it an extra o in between two of the letters, which might actually be the original spelling, it says Bulgarian. So that's something, I guess.

[Voskos]

Yeah google gets them both right.

[capocannoniere]

Father: Swahili (Right)
Mother: Italian (Wrong)

[Katarzyna]

My surname comes from Prussian language. It is named after a Prussian city (or maybe the city is named after us, who knows ;)

And nope, I don’t mean Prussian synonymous for Eastern German, but the Old Prussian. It’s an extinct Baltic language and the region nowadays belongs to Poland after the Germans were expelled from the area.

And yeah, since the city is located in Poland and still got its original name google detected it ofc as Polish, the name of the city
