Sometimes, a person's surname has been handed down for so many generations that the history is lost. Other, often more eminent surnames, rise victoriously despite the withering mists of time. Many surnames are derived from the location in which the family originally lived. Other names are derived from the nickname of a prominent person within that family's ranks.
