idk what it means
comes from southern China originally
its popular because many dynasties changed their name to this in order to hide after being ousted from power, and the Nguyễn Dynasty awarded many people the surname Nguyễn during their rule as a sort of status symbol, and many criminals also changed their surname to Nguyễn to avoid prosecution.
when French came many poor people who didn't have a surname or else a very low prestige one changed their names on the official French census and just kept it.

literally every single name stems from the old norse patronymic naming system (dad's name+son). they still do that on iceland, but when we shifted to normal surnames we just kept the same ones.

Where I live, many have Semitic-based surnames. This is because it was part of a Caliphate, and when the caliphate stopped, we still had Siculo-Arabic-speaking families, both in Sicily and Malta. Sicily went back to speaking Sicilian while Malta developed a creole language due to staying in the caliphate longer.

Not that much longer iirc. Siculo-Arabic stayed because of the Sicilian immigrants that spoke it + the locals of course.
There was no real alternative.
Any familiar ones aside from Camilleri? I know that one's present in Sicily.

German names often end in -er which mostly either hints a profession ot a place of origin.
For instance the most common name is Müller (which means miller)
