From the Old German given name Burkhard.

Derived from the name of the city of Bradford in West Yorkshire, which meant "broad ford" in Old English. This is also the name of other smaller towns in England.

Northern English habitational name from any of the places in Cumbria and Yorkshire named Braithwaite, from Old Norse breiðr "broad" + þveit "clearing".

Variant of Chávez.

Means "cleric" or "scribe", from Old English clerec meaning "priest", ultimately from Latin clericus. A famous bearer was William Clark (1770-1838), an explorer of the west of North America.

Means "son of Colin 2".

Anglicized form of the Irish Ó Doibhilin meaning "descendant of Doibhilin", a given name that may be derived from the Gaelic term dobhail meaning "unlucky".

From various Scottish place names that are derived from Gaelic drumainn, a derivative of druim meaning "ridge".

Means "son of Evan".

As a Scottish surname, this is either a habitational name for a person from the village of Guthrie near Forfar, itself from Gaelic gaothair meaning "windy place" (a derivative of gaoth "wind") and the locative suffix -ach, or alternatively it might possibly be an Anglicized form of Scottish Gaelic Mag Uchtre meaning "son of Uchtre", a personal name of uncertain origin, perhaps related to uchtlach "child".

As an Irish surname, it was adopted as an English translation of Gaelic Ó Fhlaithimh "descendant of Flaitheamh", a byname meaning "prince". This is the result of an erroneous association of the Gaelic name in the form Ó Fhlaithimh (Fh- being silent) with the Gaelic word laithigh "mud", and of mud with gutters, and an equally erroneous association of the Scottish surname Guthrie with the word gutter.
