Linguistic origin of surnames in your family!

[1stLightHorse]

My surname means "Big Balls", as my brawd Uhtred can attest to.

[Leadchucker]

Germanic then English being first recorded in Norfolk around 1186 during the reign of King Henry II.

[Peyrol]

Yes, and taking a look at your map the main part of Calabria where "Martini" appears is in Guardia Piedmontese. So they were from Northern Piedmont?

[Comte Arnau]

If I count up to 16 surnames, most of the closest are Catalan, two are Basque, one from Upper Aragon, one from Occitania, and one from Western Iberia.

Hence why I call my ancestry 'Pyrenean'.

[Armando Esteban Quito]

Spanish (Armendáriz; of Basque origin): patronymic from the Basque personal name Armendari or Armentari, from Latin armentarius ‘herdsman’.
Spanish and French variant of Armendaritze, a habitational name from a village in Low Navarre named Armendaritze. The place name is commonly said to be composed of the elements ar(ri) ‘rock’ + mend(i) ‘mountain’ + aritz ‘oak’. However, this is probably a folk etymology; the place name is more likely the same as the patronymic surname, except that -itz here is to be interpreted as a locative suffix: ‘Armendari’s place’ or perhaps ‘herdsman’s place’.
