What I’m curious is why people got middle names, because it seems like it’s an English thing. I’m from Quebec and nobody has a middle name

Imagine people tracing their family tree trying to go back as far as they can and it stops around 1400 because they don’t have last names

My surname comes from pig farmers by a river, then at some point one of them was a crusader and got given a village 🤷

Here in Spain, we get the first surname from our father, the other from our mother, and women do not change theirs for their husbamds'. Sadly, this is

Turns out he Irish were the first to have surnames, it was due to people wanting to be known for as a group and not patronymics. The more you know 😁
