About Name Meaning

The stories behind first and last names.

What this is

Name Meaning explains the meanings and origins of first names and family names. It is run from 212 E Main St, Bozeman, MT 59715, United States.

Sources and method

Entries are written by the Name Meaning editors from standard etymological dictionaries of given names and surnames and other reference works. Where the origin of a name is uncertain or disputed, we say so.

What we do not do

We do not sell genealogy reports or collect family information. Looking up a name does not require an account.

Advertising
