Family name Denman
Embarking on a journey to understand my familial past with an iGENEA DNA test, I found myself immersed in a sea of surprises. As I dug deeper into my roots, I discovered a unique mishmash of unexpected ancestral influences, particularly Viking and Celtic, that’s woven into my DNA. Unraveling the mystery wrapped around the origins of my surname, Denman, led me to a Danish lineage - a turn I had not anticipated.
Taking an iGENEA DNA test revealed surprising insights into my ancestral roots and the origins of my surname, Denman. Contrary to my expectations, I found out that instead of a purely Anglo-Saxon lineage, I have a significant Scandinavian Viking lineage intertwined with my genetic history. Furthermore, it was fascinating to find out that my surname, Denman, instead of reflecting an English origin, signifies 'Man from Denmark' – hinting at a Danish origin. The DNA excavation also revealed traces linking me to the ancient Celtic tribes. Overall, the DNA test, more than being a simple medical procedure, became a time machine, connecting me to the ancestors I never knew I had, shattering preconceptions about my own identity, and ultimately redefining my understanding of who I am.
