Ok so I go to free translation service and I put in La Barbera and out comes the Barbery horse....so originally I thought I was a barber and now I am thinking I am named after a horse??? Mr. Green

Anyone know how to find out about your surname other than the coat of arms websites? Razz

I found this
http://www.cognomiitaliani.org/cognomi/cognomi0010.htm

La Barbera sembrerebbe specifico della Sicilia occidentale e dovrebbe derivare da un soprannome collegato al mestiere di barbiere.

La Barbera seems to be typical of the western Sicily and should derive from a nickname connected to the barber job.

One of my family names sounds great......."nightingale" or song of the nightingale.
