That site was fun - but couldn't find my married name (but I know it means "pretty valley" in German), my maiden name, my MIL's maiden name, or my mother's maiden name. They aren't all that uncommon a name, either.

HOLLAND

(origin: Local) A name given to a native of that country, which was so called from Hollow-land, because it abounds with ditches full of water. Bailey is of opinion that the Danes who conquered Holland, so called it from an island in the Baltic of the same name, from ol, beer, drink. Why not from Hold land, the land taken and kept, held, governed?

My married name is not listed, but my maiden name means learned.

 

[Nikole]

My first name means victory of the people
From the Greek name Nikolaos which meant "victory of the people" from Greek nike "victory" and laos "people". Saint Nicholas was a 4th-century bishop who, according to legend, saved the daughters of a poor man from lives of prostitution. He is now known as Santa Claus, the bringer of Christmas presents. He is the patron saint of children, sailors and merchants, and Greece and Russia. Nicholas was also the name of two czars of Russia and five popes.

My maiden name was Gaelic for a wide plain?!!! *So that makes it what a victory for the people on a wide plain?* lol

My Married name means... nothing. It was a made up name, when a Great great Grandfather of my DH was in the Swedish military and there were too many others with the same name, they made up a new one for him (that's the story anyway)

My Maiden name means... nothing really. Not the way it's spelled anyway. My Danish Great Grandfather immigrated and it was spelled wrong when he entered the country.

So neither name appears on lists, but the site was cool! Thanks for posting it.

Neither my married name nor my maiden name are listed on that website. My married name is rather common, I'm surprised it wasn't listed.
