Archiveswhat does my last name mean?
i am having a lot of trouble with this. my name was changed when my dad came to the US, and i am looking for the background of the original name, "Berestjaner", and he does not pronounce the j when he says it. his family is from eastern europe but i really do not know where this name is from exactly, because they did a lot of traveling i think. if anybody could even just give me a country that this may be from, that would help me...

What does,"Flores" come from?

Flores Spanish
Derived from the given name Floro, Spanish form of the Roman Florus which meant "flower".

Replying to other people's posts with a new question is considered something of a no-no, by the by. It's irritating, means fewer people are likely to look at and reply to that post (because it looks like you might have answered the question), and makes your question less likely to be answered.

ETA: Didn't close my tags on the bolding.
