I seen 4 names that I found when researching my family on ancestry. Harris, Jones, Johnson, and Smith. I am surprised "Washington" and "Green" didn't make the list.
Same here! I thought before the video that Green, Washington, and Lincoln would be listed, also, some French sounding names from the Caribbean, St. Pierre.
@@aamazintribe Initially we combined with a hyphen and then people kept messing it up (using part of our last name as our middle name). So now, I just combined it with no hyphen, problem solved!
Yea, the fact that Washington wasn't on this list was shocking being that it's the 1 last name that almost let's everyone who reads it that it's the last name of a black person.
All proper Scots-Irish or English surnames. I remember years ago, my family received catalogs through the mail celebrating our "Irish" heritage. My ancestors paid a heavy price to have my family name imbued in perpetuity. My mother's maiden name is Lewis. I'm actually surprised that didn't crack the Top 10, along with Freeman, Peterson, Morris or Stevenson.
@@muneymoney1910 My grandfather's people on my mom's side migrated from Virginia in the late 1800s and settled in Ontario, Canada, and then later branched off to a rural community in Michigan called Salem Twp., about 35 miles west of Detroit. If you have any foundations in any of those places, we could be distant relatives.
WOW !! My family surnames consists of 5 out of 10. Williams, Davis, Robinson, Jones and Smith and maybe more still doing my research. Thank for sharing your video.
I used to always make the joke that Williams was the biggest slave name ever. But it's always weird when I meet white ppl with Williams as their last name. I start wondering to myself if their ancestors once owned mine🤣🤣
So interesting, that I had to replay this several times. Thanks. Keep educating us. 02:47 - Thomas. That's me! Thomas was my father’s name. As was his mother, my grandmother’s name. But my mother’s maiden name was Melton. But I remember my mother’s mother, my grandmother’s name was Miller. I’m sure there were marriages involved in the name changes because my aunt (my father’s sister) was known as Robinson.
I never thought about the idea that we kept slave master's last names or our birth plantations names in order to find other family members lost to slavery and sold away. gives one a whole other away to thinking about why to change or not the names we were given. I also am thinking how powerful it was that our Ancestors actually CHOSE new names after slavery sometimes from the names available to them in english, the only language most knew. That means our names are not all slave names if our fathers chose sometimes to leave the names given to them by whites. Powerful stuff! Thank you!!!!
That was a big revelation for us as well. It also demonstrates the different levels of forced assimilation. It’s very profound to imagine a free man electing to wear the name of a person that he or she emphatically hates for the slight possibility to reconnect with a person that he or she unconditionally loves.
“That means our names are not all slave names” - I have a different take on that. Many would argue that any English name was a “slave name”. There were not able to change their names back to their ancestral African name either due to fear, strategy, municipalities prevented them, or it’s highly likely they didn’t know their African family name. Very unfortunate. But ultimately they had to bear the name of people who benefited from chattel slavery.
@@BlackExcellist And can u please do a Research the last Name BURNETT I believe it’s a Plantation somewhere in Tennessee named after them that they have entered as something else to Cover up the real meaning
I absolutely knew that Williams would be number one lol. I would Love to see this done for Jamaica because there are so many Williams 💙 in Jamaica as well. That’s why I’m so glad I got married LOL
in Jamaica, Edwards, Morrison, Campbell, jones would be top. and then when you hear Stacey-ann , Carolyn-ann, you know its jamaican gyal straight up. but you are married to a german jew from the look of it.
My mother's maiden name is Williams and it's a lot of them where I live. My last name, which is my father's last name Cross, isn't very common where I live. I don't know of many other than my family. I wasn't surprised at the list, I know someone with each of those names.
The funny part for me is that I know people (including relatives) with every single one of those last names although, my married name and maiden name ain't even on it. 😆
What about Washington, Jefferson, Freeman, Lincoln, Carter, and Jordan? Maybe y'all should do a video about surnames with deep meanings that Blacks often chose after they gained freedom from slavery.
@@kathleenking47 what do you mean by better first names? I work at a children's hospital and what I notice is that unique names come from parents of ALL races AND every culture has a distinct individuality so why not us?
Not very many white Americans know the origins of their surnames. It’s cool that American Black surnames are often names chosen by a specific ancestor, and mean something based on the trade or unique quality of that person.
Isaiah 45:4 “For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.”
@@angelbanks264 , I have Lewis ', and my mom married into a Williams family. I have Lockhart and some other last name family members. I am from a family that numbers into the thousands when you count the cousins. A lot of family members are dead, and many are still alive. The Jones', and Williams side of my family have never had a family reunion! It's sad. We have so many babies in the family who are still being born!
My last name is White and it's always irritated me how simple/basic it is. I carry my paternal grandmother's surname due to my father never knowing who his father was. I used Ancestry DNA to figure out who his father was, and was hopeful that it would add a more unique surname to my family tree. The new surname? Williams. I went from bad to worse.
I've definitely seen plenty of Black Americans people w/ these names. Can you guys do a video for Black Americans w/ rarer or less common last names. My mother had a scott-Irish last name. My father has a English last name and etc...
Also other common Black last names are: Jenkins, Porter, Campbell, King, Payne and Wilkes and Carter. Wallace is also a common last names for Black Americans too. So are Jordan, Thompson and Miller
Thank You for the information so in my future when I have children I rather give them Robinson, Harris, Brown, Smith, and Williams. Best last names for future son and daughter.
My family's last names (maternal and paternal) are not on the list. Paternal has Irish origin and not common (in any race in the US), and maternal has French origin (also not common in the US) I am currently conducting an Ancestry search to find out how/when my Black family ended up with Irish and French last names.
What bothers me about the slavery days, and there are multiple reasons about what I consider H-o-rr-i-B-l-E and horrific of any human being owned by ANYONE!! Here's one of the main reasons about when black people were torn away from their families and brought over here to the US, to be sold SMH 😐, and the slave owner would give these slaves their last names, I can't even fathom this!! Not only were these humans stolen from their whole way of life, (as if this wasn't brutal enough), torn away from everything that they loved and knew, but to then be brutalized over & over again by those who treated them like animals, this totally BREAKS MY SOUL 😭. Even today in 2022, how many people who believe that their last names are actually theirs is beyond WRONG!! Every slave that was bought and sold, and had their names changed to whomever bought them, these people had their own last name way before they were forced into slavery!! If it was me, I'd do all that I could to find out what my true name was, and immediately have my name changed, to stand tall and be proud of who I truly am. There is so much damage of those times, that pointing out just one atrocity after another seems a small feat!! I love all people, all of us are human beings made in God's own image, never ever should this have happened in the first place!! It breaks my heart to no end, and my soul aches for all humans who have had their entire lives ripped apart because of indecent monsters!! God bless those who are still suffering today because of the monsters of yesteryear's mistakes. This is putting what really happened to these beautiful souls lightly!!
Thank you for caring. It wasn't yesteryears mistakes. This was yesteryears intention. Also, if African Americans could trace where they actually come from and what their last names were they would. The slave traders never kept the records on each person or the records were destroyed. These people who did these awful things were less than human people. Thou they felt they were superior beings. God has watched all of this and he's still watching.
Can you imagine a slave having the name of a king or prince and the slave owner rubbing that out? He probably couldn't even pronounce it. Names have meanings and that's important.
Kal halal YAHAWAH ba ha sham YAHWASHI: We(as in the people kidnapped and TRANS-ported in cargo-slave ships around the world not just here USA) are the HEBREWS that wrote the scriptures that the world has stolen, and redistributed as "The Bible". You see it was prophecied that we would go into bondage among our ENEMIES in Ships! Deut:28vs68 And that NATIONS would enslave and separate us from our NATIONALITY. More particularly my tribe JUDAH(Yahawadan) or socalled Af-Am. Those Freemason colonials WORLDWIDE knew EXACTLY who they were destroying......AND WHY. They themselves knew they were on the other side of prophecy. WE(Yasharalah/ancient Israel) ARE BACK TO RECLAIM OUR TRUE HERITAGE. With that comes the fulfilling of the last ENDTIME prophecy. The arrival of the Messiah during WW3, the deliverance of the raiment of Israel 144,000+ a few chosen gentiles........MOST IMPORTANTLY.....The Messiah gets his revenge first against "those that pierced him"...........THEN ISRAEL(True Israel, the HEBREWS) LED AWAY ALL NATIONS/REPUBLICS.....INTO CAPTIVITY. So the fact that we're even here with CHANGED NAMES PROVES EVERYTHING I WROTE....DOESNT IT?? Don't take these words out of hate, or 🤬 because they are simply TRUTH. Me and my brethren are sick of the existence we understand the ART of war and WHO our enemies are in HIGH places, but we know we must obey what our Heavenly Father has ordained. But we're almost at the the end of the greatest true-life SAGA in the history of HIS creation...........THE RETURN OF THE ANCIENT ONES
When are we going to get over the color separation issue? There are good people and bad people of all colors. If we focus more on being kind and civil to eachother and raise our children right we don't have to worry about how light or dark skin. We all originated from 2 people.
I can’t Wait To Change mine That’s wild because EVERY TIME I say We have European names people look at me crazy My Mexican friend to His friend the same thing when the Cops stopped them The other guy was calling the cop a sell out My Friend Told him Naw ……. They worked US Just like The BROTHERS Spain is in Europe We have THERE Last Names
This is one good reason the descendants of slaves should be given reparation.we have lost so freaking much. forever.most black descendants don't know.who they really are.or where they come from

We need to shout out Free Man. Probably one of the only last names that originated from African Americans.
I agree... that name origination left nothing to the imagination... Mr. & Mrs. Freeman...I love it!
Some ancestors changed their names after emancipation.
Is a really cool and gorgeous last name.
Black people been in america when europeans came
Freeman is actually a British name as well
If you went to a black public school, this is literally all your teachers' names!

Mine was JACKSON. Over half the school population named JACKSON & Johnson.
Lmao that’s funny ASF 😂
I love the black contemperary cinematography in this video. Its vibrant, happy and impactful. Thank you for this video, I love ya'll channel!!

Too funny!!

You see it was prophecied that we would go into bondage among our ENEMIES in Ships! Deut:28vs68 And that NATIONS would enslave and separate us from our NATIONALITY. More particularly my tribe JUDAH(Yahawadan) or socalled Af-Am. Those Freemason colonials WORLDWIDE knew EXACTLY who they were destroying......AND WHY. They themselves knew they were on the other side of prophecy. WE(Yasharalah/ancient Israel) ARE BACK TO RECLAIM OUR TRUE HERITAGE. With that comes the fulfilling of the last ENDTIME prophecy. The arrival of the Messiah during WW3, the deliverance of the raiment of Israel 144,000+ a few chosen gentiles........MOST IMPORTANTLY.....The Messiah gets his revenge first against "those that pierced him"...........THEN ISRAEL(True Israel, the HEBREWS) LED AWAY ALL NATIONS/REPUBLICS.....INTO CAPTIVITY. So the fact that we're even here with CHANGED NAMES PROVES EVERYTHING I WROTE....DOESNT IT?? Don't take these words out of hate, or 🤬 because they are simply TRUTH. Me and my brethren are sick of the existence we understand the ART of war and WHO our enemies are in HIGH places, but we know we must obey what our Heavenly Father has ordained. But we're almost at the the end of the greatest true-life SAGA in the history of HIS creation...........THE RETURN OF THE ANCIENT ONES
When are we going to get over the color separation issue? There are good people and bad people of all colors. If we focus more on being kind and civil to eachother and raise our children right we don't have to worry about how light or dark skin. We all originated from 2 people.
