    Parental is portuguese (but it was taken to the new world by a Galician man).
    Maternal is from Asturias (my grandpa was Navarrese though).

    My surname is Scottish, although it is a typically (and common) English name. Most sources indicate it was introduced to the Lowlands by Anglo-Saxon settlers, although I've also seen explanations for Norman and Gaelic origins, the latter stating it is an Anglicization of a habitational surname from a village in Fife. In any case, it means maker of barrels.

    Here is its present distribution in the United Kingdom:

    Italian Surname, a continuation of Late Latin Gentilis meaning 'of the same stock (Latin gens)' and then 'non-Christian', 'pagan'; as a medieval name it was an omen name with the sense 'noble', 'courteous', also 'delicate', 'charming', 'graceful', on the maternal side it seems to be of noble origin in southern Italy, I don't know what it means, on the maternal side it seems to be of noble origin in southern Italy, I don't know what it means, but I know that my family in ancient times was one of the most important families in the entire kingdom of Naples, in my genealogy there were also some princes, fallen nobles then after the unification of Italy

    A lot of historic intermingling between those two nations.

    As for understanding the poll: If my name is Müller f. i. then it es German, but not Germanic. It's from Latin (Romance) molina, which means mill, while the Germanic word for mill is quern, kürn etc., cf. Swedish kvarn. What in the poll shall I select in such a case?

    (There are a lot of such German names and mine is one as well. Also, I'm not sure that most people do at all know from what language their family name etymologically is derived. A huge proportion of European family names is derived from Latin, Greek and Hebrew first names. On the other hand Spanish names like Rodriguez and Hernandez are Germanic (from Roderich and Friednand).)
