Hey, looked up the meaning of my last name

nickname for a tall man, from Middle High German ‘giant’, ‘monster’, ‘bogeyman’, from Middle High German ‘Hun’, a word probably ultimately of Turkic origin.
from an old personal name derived from the Germanic element hun ‘bear cub’.
metonymic occupational name for a poultry keeper, from Middle High German huon ‘hen’.

Giant family of turkey farmers...

NOT!!!!

I was checking names & thought about my cousin Mike Martello who teaches martial arts in Belgium so I looked him up on you tube to find he died on June 2 at the age of 42.
I am in shock & tears. We weren't really close as the last time I saw him we were children but I had been watching his vids & we shared a few emails this year.

It's so sad but true Martello means hammer & he hit like a hammer...

It was his heart...our family curse.

My Maiden Name History:

Dalby Name Meaning and History:

Norwegian, Danish, and northern English: habitational name from any of various places named Dalby, named with Old Norse dalr ‘valley’ + býr ‘farm’, ‘settlement’. The English surname is common in Yorkshire, where it derives mainly from Dalby in North Yorkshire, but similarly named places in Leicestershire and Lincolnshire are also possible sources. In Norway, it is common as a farm name.

I guess that's true....people in my Family worked on the Land.....I'm into Gardening & love it.

NOTHING came up for my Married Name: Tragianese. :oops:

Soto Name Meaning and History
habitational name from any of numerous places named Soto or El Soto, from soto ‘grove’, ‘small wood’ (Latin saltus).
Castilianized spelling of Asturian-Leonese Sotu, a habitational name from a town so named in Asturies.
Castilianized spelling of the Galician equivalent, Souto

I think small wood is too literal it probably is more like small forest hence grove
