ArchivesSurnames in the ? usage section
I'm trying to get the surnames in the unknown usage section's usages figured out.
I've gotten a few out, this is what's left. If you know where they come from or what they mean, please tell me! (Will delete if figured out)
BESTOCK (probably anglicised form of something like Bestok or Bestak)
BOLERJACK (probably English)
BRIACA (originally submitted as given name, Breton feminine form of Briac. Onomabot says to revert the change from given name to surname in the discussion so maybe that should happen.)
FREIWAT (originally labelled Danish Rare)
GAYDARZHI (probably a Siberian native last name, Гайдаржи in Russian Cyrillic. Possibly means something like "son of Gaydar".)
KOREA (had been labelled Korean, and then W. African/Indian/Indonesian, then Various, now unknown. Not sure if it has any relation with the country)
LARINSON (description says it means "son of Larin", formerly labelled as Old Swedish. Probably Norse in some way)
LYIONS (according to forebears, bearers live in US or Mexico. Possibly an Anglicised form of Ó Laighin or Ó Liatháin)
ROMIUS (probably some Latinate usage, though forebears's data on the last name is all over the place- could mean something like "from Rome")
SANET (originally submitted as Afrikaans Germanised, possibly a German or Dutch variant of Sand)
STETTINA (OP says it's from Slavic and/or Germanic countries. It's European surname. Possibly from Stettin, the German name for the Polish city Szczecin)
