Original family name was Kutter or Kuder (German) but was anglicized when descendants emmigrated to America in the late 1700s. Could find no reference, as far as meaning, behind either. -

STEPHEN
Origin: Greek
Meaning: Crowned OneSurname - Crowley
Origin: South West Ireland
(in Irish - An Cruadhlaoch, which is "Hardy Warrior") -
I haven't a clue. It could be Gaelic, it could be Germanic via Breton "Precious"; it could even be from the ancient Sarmatian tribe the Alani that spread out from Iran around the Black Sea area. No one knows for sure.
My last name, though Scottish, probably has its origins (via the Normans) in the French word for strawberry (fraise). It forms part of one of the clan crests.
It comes from one of William's barons who was famous for his strawberry daiquiris....and it's pronounced FRAY ZER, not FRAY SHURE. However you want to pronounce Frazier (almost unknown in the UK) over the other side of the pond is up to you.

ROSS
Origin: Scotland
Pronounced: Rosssss

Origin: Scotland

Meaning: Clan name. Descendants of Tosh. Tosh, our glorious ancestor, was a reggae singer from Jamaica. He worked with Bob Marley.

ALAN

Alternatively, it may derive from the tribal name of the Alans, an Iranian people who migrated into Europe in the 4th and 5th centuries. This was the name of several dukes of Brittany, and it was introduced to England by Breton settlers after the Norman conquest.

I have a Chinese name, too, though I haven't thought about it in years. (My wife is Chinese-American.) I'm afraid I don't have the character written anywhere, or actually know how to draw it...I think it might even be a non-Mandarin dialect.
I'll have to ask my father-in-law to write it for me again.
It is pronounced similar to the English name "Lou" and means destruction.
