Name Profiler

I wanted to link to this a few weeks ago but the site was down. Essentially you put your surname into the search engine and it tells you the "origins" or locations where that surname is most prevalent. There are some other tools on the site but i've not checked them yet.

Seems a very 'unfinished' site - but did confirm my origins - SE Eire and New Zealand:)

The Northwest of England for me. No suprise. Quite of lot of us in Australia and New Zealand though so i suppose my ancestors were big into crime. Strangely Argentina is mentioned highly as well.

Oddly popular in Switzerland, but my surname does happen to be a German word, so it's not that surprising. Most common in East Anglia in terms of the UK, which isn't surprising as many of my ancestors came from that region.

Just as I thought, originated in Ireland, spread across Europe and to North America (Australia/New Zealand etc) although oddly it also came up with Argentina and India.

Completely unbelievably, Williams is 'Celtic', belongs to the 'Welsh' subgroup, and the language is 'Welsh'.

It appears to come from a few miles from where I live.

I'm not sure if I was really expecting much different.

Heh, I have the most common first name to my last :)

Oddly, the most popular country is New Zealand, where I want to move to to retire/live.

I think maybe from this information here you could work out someone's name

I'm not that unbusy enough to try though, but might be fun.

I was thinking along the same lines, hence why I didn't post my surname (as I figure it’s only one step away from late night sodimisation). You did though Grix, are ya’ lonely?
