What does the surname Abcede mean?
Replies
"A B C D" it's more common as a first name.
That wasn't what I meant, but thanks anyway.
No, thegriffon isn't joking. It is a more recently made up name and that is what it means. There is no deeper meaning than that for the name.
You can consider it a placeholder, for someone who didn't have a family name (known to the recorder); who wanted a break from their forbears; or who was being forceably seperated. A form required a surname so ABCeDe was entered.
I thought you were joking because you said it's more common as a first name. I can't really bring myself to believe that, sorry. Still, thank you!
