Used to think our surname was Spanish because it had of a bit of a spanish ring to it and theres a lot of us over in Galway, so I figured shipwrecked Spanish Armada sailor that bedded down with a Cailin.
Mind blown when someone came into our business one day with a book about the history of Bray. It contained a copy of one of the first census' of landowners in the town from the thirteenth century. Only two surnames recognisable, one of which was ours with a 'le' before it. Fcuk Me, we were Norman nobles that came over with Strongbow.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen

Do you mind me asking what your surname is?
We had a similar situation in my own family. Had always believed one thing in relation to the name, but it's amazing what a quick google search can turn up.0 -

Lotta pure shyte on the interweb about names, family origins etc. Any gobshyte with the time to write and post his ramblings and his own view as fact can pass himself off as an expert. Like any other subject you could mention.
I would only believe actual old school historians who have done the leg work, and if your family name is very unusual, even they may have to do a specific investigation for you.
In my own case, our name is extremely rare, and only in the last 50 years exists anywhere else in Ireland outside of one small isolated area in Kerry. Thousands of us in USA and UK though, all tracing their history back to my home parish.
Turns out the name was an alias used to hide a well known family of northies on the run after Kinsale in 1601.
