http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uhler
i'm not kidding either. i asked my mom, after i found out there really is a city in germany named uhler, and she confirmed that on my father's side (which is 100 percent german) his family did come from the city of uhler. i find it funny that my family was named after the city they are from. |

One half of my family is Scottish, the other is probably somewhere else in Britain.
From Wikipedia: "The most common explanation of the origin of the surname Wood is that it was used to describe a person who lived in or worked in a wood or forest. This name derived from Middle English "wode" from the Old English "wudu", both of which mean "wood." Another possibility is that the name derived from the Old English "wod" or "wad", meaning "crazed" or "crazy," and was used to describe someone considered mad or violent, or a warrior or savage in battle. An example of the use of this term is in the pun in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, "And heere am I, and wod within this wood."

I did a bit of reserach on Torres (my last name), there is a small town near the Basque region of Spain called Torres. It is named after the towers in a castle/fortification near the town.
