What are your online sources for researching surname meanings?
I already know about the internet surname database and ancestry.com’s learning center’s name meaning section.
Side note: My own surname is not listed in the ISDB, and only says Scottish: ‘Of Uncertain Origin’ in Ancestry.com. I know of two possible meanings thanks to some relatives’ research.
I use the Ancestry page you know about. For the benefit of people who read the questions before they ask, it is
http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/default.aspx?ln=
If they don’t have it, I use three words in Google:
Smith surname origin
The order isn’t important;
origin surname Smith
would work as well.
