@richdiddens4059 2 жыл бұрын
No, that's a patronymic. An ancestral name is if you are named after a more remote ancestor. Technically, most occupational and other source names are also ancestral. If your family name is Miller an ancestor was probably a miller (occupational) and, at some point, a son who wasn't a miller was still named Miller along with his descendants and so it became ancestral. Even most Western European patronymic names are now ancestral. If your name is Hanson your father probably isn't named Hans. So the source of the name is patronymic but has become ancestral. I believe Russia is both. Your surname is ancestral but your middle name is traditionally patronymic. Your father's given name with a variation of evich added on for a son or evna for a daughter.

And if you look at maps of German states by GRP, life satisfaction, and population changes, they too match with the former division line between East and West Germany. On a map of population changes, the East German states are shrinking in a bigger percentage when compared to West German states. the former division has certainly impacted the way Germany is today

Not necessarily. The reason Germany is still economically divided today isn't just because of the wall. From 1945 to 1990, Germany was divided between a Democratic West German state, and an Authoritarian East German puppet state. West Europe and the USA dumped lots of money into repairing cities bombed to rubble in many european countries including West Germany, while the Soviets let East Germans live in the basements of the rubble of their old homes. The damage wasn't repaired until the 1990s after Germany unified. TLDR: NATO cared about Germany, Russia didn't.

4:53 Nowak in Poland and Novákova in Czech Republic are really the same surname. The difference here is caused that Czech surname is different depending if is borne by man (Novák) or woman (Novákova). Polish surnames do not change now (it did historically) except for those ending in -ski (for man i. e. Kowalski) or -ska (woman i.e. Kowalska) so both, men and women are called Nowak in Polish.

Novák and Nowak are an example of words common to both languages, like pivo and piwo (beer), and also similar words like den and dzień (day).

Here is an interesting historical fact about 12:18 from me (a Russian guy). You can clearly see the divide but here is a very interesting fact and some food for thought: At the beginning of the century (1910s), this divide was present, with countries in Eastern Europe generally having shorter life expectancies due to their historically lower levels of development. In the middle of the century (1960s), most of the Eastern European countries caught up to the West in terms of life expectancy and HDI due to the affordability of healthcare in Socialist countries, where most people could afford to go to the doctor, as well as eat healthier food due to the better food standards that food-producing companies had to abide by. By the end of the century and beyond (2000s), most of the Eastern European countries turned back to Capitalism, and life expectancy suddenly dropped due to the decrease in healthcare affordability and the degradation of food quality standards, as well as the higher crime rates caused by the mass unemployment typical to scarcely regulated Capitalism, the very model that we naïvely borrowed from the USA, and which, in the end, guaranteed the demise of our health and prosperity. The moral of the story: don't believe ''free market wizards'' like Ben Shapiro that promise you miracles. In the real world, massive deregulation and privatization ruin the lives of millions. If you don't believe me, ask other Russians, they will tell you the same.

The red, signifying ancestral origin, basically means the way your last name came about was being named after your father/mother/etc. Take Hernández, in Hispanic countries that basically means “son of Hernando”, while Andersson in Sweden would be “son of Ander”. However, countries eventually stopped passing down last names based on the first name of their parent and instead kept it the same between generations.

About the reindeer being on islands in the north: it's easy to forget when looking at a map that lots of the sea here were in long periods during ice ages, and lots of places still is; covered with sea ice thick enough walk on for even heavy animals such as polar bears. So for a wandering little flock of reindeer, as long as they can walk the distance without starving, a bit of ice covered sea is no real obstacle. (In fact it's probably faster to walk on fairly flat ice than on mountainous land)

In Germany, Meier is actually the most common name, but it has a myriad of different spellings (Meier, Maier, Meir, Mair, Mayer, Meyer, Meyr, Mayr, Mejer, Majer, Meijer ... and many more), which I assume weren't counted as one. A Meier was basically a manager of farmsteads working for the nobility in the middle ages and there seems to be no similar title in English.

In fact in Iceland this is the only type of surname they use, everyone takes an individual surname e.g. a brother and sister with the father Jón would be (brother'sfirstname) Jónsson and (sister'sfirstname) Jónsdóttir. (Exceptions being recent immigrants or descendants of those connected to Danish aristocracy).

To be clear, in Sweden for example the name Anderson is passed down the family in a more 'traditional' sense and everyone in the same immediate family is named Anderson. Though at one point in history it was given to someone who was the son of Anders, like the Icelandic tradition that persists to this day.

Like Smith doesn’t mean you’re a Smith anymore but that’s how it started out. Over time in most places surnames have become more permanent following a family through descendants instead of describing one particular person and possibly their siblings of the same sex. Except in instances like Iceland where it continues.

Regarding the North-South dichotomy regarding Catholic vs Protestant parts of Germany, you identify part of the cause correctly: That the various states that predate the unification of Germany as a national state were mostly leaning either Protestant or Catholic. However, I wouldn't say the underlying cause goes as far back as Roman empire or HRE times, more directly it is related to the reformation and the immediately following 30 Years War, which had a very strong religious component. Basically, the majority of Southern German states, as well as many Western states bordering France, were kept under Catholic hegemony and subject to Counter-reformation movements, whereas the Northern states in Germany in that period were under the protection of Protestant rulers such as the Swedes and could form strong alliances to protect each other.
