History:
The spread of this surname was a mix of things. Families moved to new places for better jobs or just because they wanted to, slowly spreading the name. Sometimes people were forced to move due to wars or political problems, scattering the name even further. Where people settled also mattered—good land, resources, and friends all influenced where they went and, therefore, where this surname ended up. Its a combination of choosing to move and being forced to move, along with where they decided to settle, that explains how the name spread.
