I'd end up with "de Araujo", a family name my GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER had!

Still quite Portuguese if not generally Iberian?

My immediate ancestry is firmly Polish but due to the region I’m from and where past family members originated from, you would more than likely start seeing Bohemian and German names not too far down the line

Polish, eh?

Insanely hard to spell, lemme tell you that...

My name is actually extremely unique to my home region to the point it’s never seen anywhere else, it could either come from the Polish word for (forest dwelling) devil or lanky person. It has no special accents and is quite easy to spell. No -ski or “wicz” at the end

I wonder if Polish would be better to look at if they just gave up on the Latin script entirely.

Northern Poland, I presume?

If so, you might be...

A damn Teutonic knight!

West Slavs and the Cyrillic script? I think they'd rather die.

Altitude training had me feeling like hypoxia was imminent. I leave Flagstaff for one month and I again need to conquer the elevation. Oof.

Eugénio Augusto de Almada Castro Bilstein Menezes"

Fucking Portuguese names, man...it's literally adding family name after family name until it becomes a familial mess of words.

Hell, my own full name, which has been heavily simplified out of convenience, is still four words long.

Southwestern, actually

I come from an area that’s always been stuck between Silesia and Galicia/Lesser Poland. It was under the Austro-Hungarian Empire but with Imperial German Silesia a stone’s throw away. I believe one of my great or great great grandfathers actually came from Poznań back when it was Posen and considered West Prussian (under the German Empire)

Oh, so you are of the Galician sub-breed...

Gotcha!

Gotcha!

Mind you, not Iberian Galicia, Polish Galicia

They really could’ve come up with two different names considering they’re on near opposite sides of Europe

Yes

"Galicia is Portuguese real estate!" - Some irredentist Portuguese, probs

[NeuPolska]

Yes

"Galicia is Portuguese real estate!" - Some irredentist Portuguese, probs

I’d hope they recognize the difference

However Iberia is weird, I find it surprising the Spanish didn’t just invade Portugal

They did.

The Portuguese (and friends) beat them back and avoided a personal union under Spain.

It was during the Age of Exploration!

That's when Philip II of Spain said, "We're just forming an exploratory committee to ... explore conquering ... I mean, joining with Portugal to our mutual benefit."

Also the source of the timeless Portuguese-Spanish friendly (for the most part) rivalry.

So apparently walking your dog while wearing pyjamas and with a blanket wrapped around you occasionally stopping to cough out your lungs makes you look like a weirdo. I was nearly done with my walk when a police car rolled up to me asking how I was doing, me telling them I was sick but nearly home and was walking my dog, and them telling me someone had called saying there was a homeless person dying and walking around the neighbourhood.
