My grandmother's maiden name was Felty. Her father's side were Moravians in Lebanon, Pa. There are a lot of Feltys in and around Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.

Felty is definitely German ive done a ton of research on the name and DNA tests on 23andme and ancestry.com confirm im 30 percent German ancestry.Lastly my great grandfather spoke fluent German and said that the Felty family came from Germany to Pennsylvania in the 1700s and that alot of his family were devout Lutheran followers. To my knowledge the Felty surname is an americanized german surname that was originally Velte or Velten it has no Scandinavian or Swedish roots.
