FAQ
What is the difference between serious and humorous?
The serious version uses genuine etymology: language roots, historical use and where the name comes from. The humorous version is an invented backstory written to raise a smile.
Can I see the text before it is engraved?
Proofs are not standard. To approve the wording first, ask for a proof in the personalisation box; this may add to the dispatch time.
Is there a version I can write myself?
Yes. The surname meaning and origin sign takes your own wording, and suits birthdays and Christmas as well as weddings. For a smaller gift, see the slate surname meaning coaster.
