    South Slavic surname. Common in Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia but also found in Romania and Moldova. More in Moldova than Romania tho.

    First recorded in 13th Century Maramureș region, unsure of exactly how old the name may be. I had originally thought the name originated in Southern Transylvania.

    My surname is a bit complicated. My family is still trying to determine if the spelling was changed when my ancestors immigrated. However, I'll state my answer based on what I know.

    My surname is of English origin and it is an occupational surname for a stained glass painter. It's not the rarest surname in the U.S., but it's definitely not as common as other occupational surnames such as Smith or Baker.

    The funniest thing is, I have the German version of my surname on my mother's side (but the families are different, of course).

    Celtic/Spanish. It has its origins in the Castro culture of Northwestern Spain.

    Also, my first name is of Greek origin.
