Strong surname meaning

Strong is an English nickname from Middle English strong(e) or strang(e), “strong” or “powerful,” from Old English strang. It could describe physical strength or a forceful temperament and could arise independently in many communities. Stronge and Strang are related spellings; Armstrong is a separate compound nickname with its own Border history. In North America the English word has also been used to Americanize surnames such as French Trahan or Jewish Stark. Nickname is high confidence for the primary English sense while noting those occasional translation cases.
