Does anyone else have a name origin that does not match with their background?

Does anyone else have a name origin that does not match with their background?
I'm a Black American.


My first name is French


My middle name is English


My last name is English.





I got my last name from the family of the slaveholder who owned my ancestors, so the slaveholder was probably of English descent.
Reply:yes, even though my ethnicity is German, my last name is english. This is because after WW2, when my relatives immigrated here, they anglicized their last name so there would be less discrimination against them (because people were obviously racist against Germans at the time)
Reply:My names are like yours. My first name is french and so weird that I have never had anyone pronounce it right. My middle name is from a Viking Opera, my last name is scottish. What were our parents thinking????
Reply:Yes, I'm Mexican and my last names is Krasovsky which is slavic lol People always think I'm Polish or Russian but actually I don't really know why I have that last name or where exactly it comes from.

well back to your question ...a friends surname was RAGU but his background was German and they could not figure out where their surname started
