My last name is Schoonmaker its dutch. Basically i have heard that it either means boat maker or ship maker which is a noble profession and pretty cool and would explain my love for nautical movies. But we have also heard that it means street sweeper or cleaner. Schoonmaker can be traced really fucking far back so in back in the olden times we were dope fucking boat makers... or we cleaned the poop and dead plague victims out of the gutters of the streets.

but I am neither of those things. I am SCHOON and i am an environmental studies major. Trees, energy, sun, wind power, water depletion, more trees, hippies, dumb blonde girls, my friend petrie, my friend ben who was pre law then fucked up and is now in environmental studies. Thats what that shits about. sonnnn

Goodchild.

God knows what it could mean. And yes, that is my last name, my parents got their last names legally changed when they got married.

Why?
Cause they felt like it!

In all seriousness, it means thick, strong, and stout. Dick, that is. Apparently there's a Dick coat of arms. Again in all seriousness, could be my next tattoo....

Well, according to Urban Dictionary...
hickey



smooch or kissing marks on any parts of your body while you are making out with your lover. you'll presse your lips on your lover's body-parts and sucks hard till the reddish mark appears.
Jim is so angry when he notices that there is a hickey on his daughter's neck because he knows who did it.

My last name means "coast" or "beach"

So I guess it means scantily clad women flock to me so they can lay on me.  Pretty awesome I guess.

That seems like a pretty obvious sign that your last name most likely means bad ass polish man with a stick.

My last name is Gwathmey. When my ancestors immigrated from Wales, they modified the name. It was originally spelled Gwalchmai

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwalchmai,_Anglesey

They say it means "Battle Hawk". My parents were told by people, when they visited Wales, that it meant "naughty things that happen in the month of May". Apparently the original Gwalchmai was a Bard. He fought in battles and then wrote poetry about it. They believe that the Arthurian character Gawain was based on him.
