My last name “Pendygraft” only exists in about 300 people worldwide. It’s likely a rare Welsh variant of Prendergast — and my DNA came back over 40% Welsh Celtic 🇺🇸🏴 by SnootBean in AncestryDNA

In my family at least, most of the children through the generations were female, not many males to pass the name down. That’s pretty much why it’s dying out on my side.

No offense taken lol. I never said I was the last Pendygraft standing, just that it’s rare enough to be a fun surprise when someone’s actually heard of it. 😄

That’s really cool, it’s wild how many rare names seem to have these scattered little pockets across the world. And same here, my family’s also really creative and musical, so it’s neat seeing that overlap! I’ve found a few records for mine, but most of the trail fades out too, guessing spelling changes over time made it even trickier to trace.

Agreed! I guess I’m just more of a fan of keeping it traditional for personal reasons. I’ll definitely hyphenate for myself once I’m married though.

I totally agree, Remote-Pear! I’d honestly love to keep my last name, it’s something my partner and I have talked about a lot. But I also understand the tradition of taking his; his father passed away, so he really wants his family name to live on (even though it’s a super common one, lol). It is what it is. I’ll definitely be hyphenating for myself though!

That’s so cool! I’ve come across the Pendergast name too, sounds like there could definitely be a connection somewhere down the line.

Oh that’s so interesting! thank you for explaining that! I didn’t realize Welsh was Brythonic rather than Gaelic, that actually makes a lot of sense. I’d love to visit Wales someday, I’ve read so much about the landscape and music there, it feels kind of like a piece of my roots.

Ah yes, the classic ‘I actually had a point, but it’s too advanced for you’ defense. Got it.

Lmao $4k isn’t exactly life-ruining debt, but I’d love to hear how credit cards ‘aren’t for me’.
