Slovenian.
Atlantid/Pontid range in my opinion.

Surname is very common in Slovenia, it appears almost in all regions. 60th most common in Slovenia, more than 1600 have it.

It means the same here. Friuli is known as Furlanija in Slovene, and it's resident would be referred to as Furlan (regardless of ethnicity). Nowadays, the last name Furlan is common throughout all regions in Slovenia. I would guess it suggests descent from someone from the region of Friuli. Italian ancestry down the line is one possible explanation, but as you probably know not everyone in Friuli is Italian, a number of residents there are Slovene, so it could possibly denote descent from a Slovene of Friuli.

[Arbërori]

Having a regional name doesn't denote ancestry as I have said before... Anyway, Atlantid-Pontid with slight Alpinid.

[mikeyup]

Atlantid-Pontid. Very pretty.

She is Slovenian of course. The spread of her surname in Slovenia could mean not recent migrations from Friuli to Slovenia, but older. Anyhow Furlan is a Friulian word.

I'm curious: Were Romans ever to today Slovenia or something similar?

Yes, they were. You can find a lot of Roman ruins everywhere. And part of Slovenia was under Italy for a very long time

[Highlands]

Interesting Slovenians can sometimes look western :) genetically they are the most Slavic in the Balkans :)

Oh well, that explains it all.

Most cities in Slovenia were founded by the Romans or Romanized population. After the Roman Empire fell apart, the upper class Romans left while the populations obtaining the towns were Slavic and later on they Slavicized some remaining Romanized Celtic people.

Many even took on or were given Latin names and surnames due to the impact Roman/Latin culture left here. For example, many people also speak Italian in churches, but not outside of it. We also have nuns and clergy from Italy, who are able to speak very little or almost no Slovene.

[Nathan Hale]

No most cities in Slovenia have been built by the Germans. The ancient Romans cities were all destroyed by the barbarians and the civil population was forced to leave and settle elsewhere.

By the way most Eastern Austrians are Germanized Slavs mixed with Bavarian and Frankish colonists.
