ArchivesOf course it has got a meaning!
in reply to a message by Ålefeskarn
"still" means "calm" and "born" means "small hills between water". So that surname originates from a place name.

Where does it say that born means 'small hills between water'?
At the end of surnames it is usually a variant of bourn, which means 'small stream'. (Oxf. Engl. Dict.)
