    Medieval Iberia, before modern Spain or Portugal, it's a patronymic, I got from my azorean-portuguese ancestors.

    My surname is of patronymic type, derived from old name which doesn't exist among modern Serbs and than name is of Slavic origin. Most of Serbian surnames of patronymic type derived from Christian/Byblical names, but not my surname.

    A very old Galician-Portuguese Latin-Derived toponimic surname, although I could've had a cool Germanic (-derived) partonimic surname, but my mom decided it wasn't cool enough for her, lol.

    Although I am Polish I carry a Baltic, Old Prussian surname. Under no circumstances will I ever give it up after marriage, because it’s extremely special. It comes from old Baltic Paganism, before the German crusaders invaded the county and made it Catholic.
    Old Prussian is an extinct language, that used to be related to Lithuanian. It’s such a flex to have one of the oldest, but rare, Indo-European names.

    My maternal surname ironically is not really rare in Poland, but extremely common in Czechia and Slovakia (but without the -ski) ending. The most surprising about it, is that it’s of Germanic ancestry and comes from ancient German. Nowadays it peaks in Bohemia and Moravia.
