< Smith is the number one surname in the United States:\nFor other countries check the site below.                           \n\n(Numbers in parentheses are percentage of population with that name.)\n1.Smith (1.006%) \n2.Johnson (0.810%) \n3.Williams (0.699%) \n4.Jones (0.621%) \n5.Brown (0.621%) \n6.Davis (0.580%) \n7.Miller (0.424%) \n8.Wilson (0.339%) \n9.Moore (0.312%) \n10.Taylor (0.311%) \n11.Anderson (0.311%) \n12.Thomas (0.311%) \n13.Jackson (0.310%) \n14.White (0.279%) \n15.Harris (0.275%) \n16.Martin (0.273%) \n17.Thompson (0.269%) \n18.Garcia (0.254%) \n19.Martinez (0.234%) \n20.Robinson (0.233%)\nThe distribution of family names in the U.S. reflects the history of immigration into the country. Many immigrants from non English speaking countries adopted English family names. Good examples of this are the popular Swedish name Johansson which was frequently changed to Johnson, and the German M?/span> changed to Miller. Some very common Swedish names were so similar that only a minor change of spelling was necessary, such as Andersson and Jonsson. This is why these names are much more common in the U.S. than in the United Kingdom.

Try not to get hung up on race and the idea of being mixed, as long as humans have inhabited Earth pretty much every race has been mixed in one form or another, that is how so many races have come into existences. My father's last name is Williams but we're not Germanic-Austrian. But for your peace of mind: Navarro is originally Italian, and in the late 10th century Spaniard families began to don this as a surname. The reason why many Filipino families have this name is because when Portuguese and Spanish travelers came to the Philippines, the travelers gave their names to the slaves and families that were in their possession.\nPeace.

From the ridge at end, it appears to be an English surname.  English surnames ( set up in the early Middle Ages) are of 4 types- Father's name (Robertson) , nickname (Jolley or could be a town) or descriptor(Brown), occupation (Baker) and place of residence as in Swatridge.  The Swat part may be a dialect word. It could also be swathe- a track melded into ridge or a swatch  - an English eastern dialect word- meaning a channel between sandbars, but maybe not, you wouldn't want to live there .  One of the things about the place surnames in medieval English is that people must have been living all over the landscape, not just huddled in small agricultural villages.  \nMany surnames that appear in later countries that one emigrated to have been mistranslated by immigration officers at point of landing, and also many names have variants,  Spelling didn't settle down until the late 19th century, though surnames tend to be very conservative and don't change spelling if they are in theri place of origin. \nMaybe someone kows the dialect meaning of Swat?

The surname is often based on people's professions way back in history.  So someone who is a Smith could have been a blacksmith, silversmith, goldsmith etc.  My maiden name was King, but unfortunately it doesn't mean I have royal connections.  When the street players (mummers) used to entertain people in the market places, the character who used to play the King often got called that off-stage.
