Släkthistoria för Happy
Happy Vad efternamn betyder
Americanized form (translation into English) of French Lheureux. Americanized form of German Hoppe. English (London) and Scottish: apparently from Middle English or Scots happi ‘prosperous lucky; skillful’. It may sometimes also be a recent translation or adaptation in the sense ‘happy’ of an immigrant surname such as German Gluck or French Lheureux (see 1 above) but in Britain there is no clear evidence for this. This surname is now rare in Britain.
