Surname or Lastname
English, French, German, Dutch, Hungarian (Róbert), etc
English, French, German, Dutch, Hungarian (Róbert), etc : from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements hrÅd
‘renown’ + berht ‘bright’, ‘famous’. This is found occasionally
in England before the Conquest, but in the main it was introduced into
England by the Normans and quickly became popular among all classes of
society. The surname is also occasionally borne by Jews, as an
Americanized form of one or more like-sounding Jewish surnames.A Robert from La Rochelle, France is documented in Trois-Rivières,
Quebec, in 1666, with the secondary surname
Surname or Lastname
English
English : from the Germanic personal name Lanzo, originally a short form of various compound names with the first element land ‘land’, ‘territory’ (for example, Lambert), but later used as an independent name. It was introduced to England by the Normans, for whom it was a popular name among the ruling classes, perhaps partly because of association with Old French lance ‘lance’, ‘spear’ (see 2).French : metonymic name for a soldier who carried a lance, or a nickname for a skilled fighter, from Old French lance.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : nickname from Middle English drink + water. In the Middle Ages weak ale was the universal beverage among the poorer classes, and so cheap as to be drunk like water, whereas water itself was only doubtfully potable. The surname was perhaps a joking nickname given to a pauper or miser allegedly unable or unwilling to afford beer, or may have been given in irony to an innkeeper or a noted tippler. Compare French Boileau, German Trinkwasser.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from any of various places named Stanford, for example in Bedfordshire, Kent, and Norfolk, or Stanford Dingley in Berkshire, Stanford in the Vale in Oxfordshire, or Stanford le Hope in Essex, etc., all named from Old English stÄn ‘stone’ + ford ‘ford’.An early bearer, Thomas Stanford of England, settled in Charlestown, MA, in the mid 17th century and started a family line that includes Leland Stanford (1824–93), the railroad developer who was governor of CA, a U.S. senator, and the founding benefactor of Stanford University.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : from the Old English personal name Cotta.Possibly an altered spelling of French Cotte, a metonymic occupational name for a maker of chain mail, from Old French cot(t)e ‘coat of mail’, ‘surcoat’. It may perhaps have been used as a nickname for a hard and unfeeling person, but is unlikely to have been a nickname for a wearer of a coat of mail, since only the richest classes, who already had distinguished family names of their own, could afford such protection. A later meaning of cotte is a long-sleeved garment, worn by both men and women.Alternatively, possibly an altered spelling of French Cot, from a reduced form of Jacot or Nicot, pet forms of Jacques and Nicolas (see Nicholas).Respelling of German Koth or the variant Kott.

Old Norse name RÃG means "king." In mythology, this is the name of the god who brought into being the progenitors of the three classes of human beings.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : topographic name or metonymic occupational name for someone who lived by or worked at a barn or barns, from Middle English barn ‘barn’, ‘granary’. In some cases, it may be a habitational name from Barnes (on the Surrey bank of the Thames in London), which was named in Old English with this word.English : name borne by the son or servant of a barne, a term used in the early Middle Ages for a member of the upper classes, although its precise meaning is not clear (it derives from Old English beorn, Old Norse barn ‘young warrior’). Barne was also occasionally used as a personal name (from an Old English, Old Norse byname), and some examples of the surname may derive from this use.Irish : possibly an Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Bearáin ‘descendant of Bearán’, a byname meaning ‘spear’.French : variant of Bern.Jewish : variant of Parnes.
