I met a guy this summer, his surname is Cruel. How sad. lol My surname is Bonifacio, it is actually a popular surname here in our country buy only few people has it. Andres Bonifacio is a hero, you can google him and you'll find lots of stuff about the guy. Im not even sure if I'm his decendant, I'm just happy I'm using his name. lol. What is your last name? Does it mean anything other than being a surname?

Rosas in our country mean Rose. We we're colonized by Spain for more than 300 years that is why our languages are mixed with spanish words.. Thanks for posting!

My last name, if you trace it back a couple hundred years and the permutations it has gone through, comes from the gaelic word that means "Raven." My family has historically been blacksmiths, so I guess that the name was denoting the "sootiness" of the profession. :-)
