I love their lifestyle and also their language – French, but never got enough chances to get to learn how to speak it. I also have this thing for their names, and reading this article to get to know more about understanding their last names is just so spectacular.

Hey, Jade,

Interesting! Yes, Switzerland and Belgium share many similarities with France, so it shouldn’t surprise us they have the same last names too.

Have you ever considered looking into your family tree? You might find something interesting.

Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for another super fascinating article! I’ve never thought so much about French last names and I definitely never realized that many of them have German origins! My last name is a German occupational name (Baumgartner) meaning tree gardener, but the ones I’m descended to came from Switzerland, so I’m not sure exactly when or where the name came from (other than some tree gardeners at some point).

Thanks again!
~Jade
