My mom's maiden name meant "little pigeon" before it was shortened. No idea why.
But hey, you have a family crest. That's pretty cool. Though it would be interesting to hear the story of how a noble house got to be named after a bird.
And yeah, fitz is kind of interesting, too. Although there is a hint of nobility about it. It comes from a time and a place where being a nobleman's by-blow still put you a step above commoners, perhaps even gave you a chance of inheriting, depending on circumstances.
