Amish Name Generator

What is the importance of names in Amish culture?

Though some Amish families have English last names, most use traditional Amish surnames. The use of these surnames is an important part of Amish culture. The meaning and significance of a person's name is highly respected in the community and often reflects their character and personality. Many Amish families trace their family histories back to particular surnames and believe that it is important to maintain these traditions. Some people choose not to take on traditional Amish surnames because they feel that they would not be accepted by their peers or because they want to adopt a more modern name.
