Last names meaning liar?

I don't know how Bernardina could be made to mean 'intelligent maiden'. It's obviously the feminine of 'Bernard' - Bernadette is a more familiar form, and Bernard is probably derived for the Germanic word for 'bear' - a good name for a child you wanted to grow up to be strong.

Apart from that, it would be very convenient if liars had surnames which instantly identified them, because then no one would believe what they said - but if they were clever they would change it very early in life to something like 'Valiant-for-Truth' or 'Tell-Truth-and-Shame- the-Devil'.

put the word liar into google translate on random languages until you find one that you like. Try Greek and Latin first and then move on from there. I perfer to stay away from common languages (french/Spanish/etc.) just because someone might recognize it but you know you can do what ever you want. Good luck!

Mendax - Latin word for liar

Well, let's start with English. Do you know of any people whose surname is "Liar"? No? Hmm, well maybe that's because people don't have such surnames, in English or any other language.

You're an idiot.

Spend more time writing and less time trying to figure out how to tell people what you meant to write, if you didn't write like the ******* author of Goofus and Gallant.

Not the suggestion you wanted?

If you could write worth a damn you could call her "Mary Smith" and no reader would care. Agonising over something as inconsequential as her surname is a waste of time. Concern yourself with your writing not inane details.

Trompeur has a nice, cultured ring to it (Fr. for deceiver).
