lithuanians, turks and greeks have funny names....
in Albanian we have a funny name which can also be confused with pubic hair... Leshi or Lleshi... and in kosovo there is a village called Muqibaba.. which translates as "dad to fuck" and another village called Makrevsh which can mean "stroke it for me" or "brush it for me"

Yeah, my father's surname is very rare, the first part of it 'Ait' means 'son of' in berber. I'm not sure what the rest of it means, though it's something berber. The rest of the surnames in my family are quite common, like my grandmothers Swedish surname 'Bergstrom'.

One would have to presume. It's a very typical Portuguese surname.
But it's on my mother's side, and she's from the Madonie, so it would have to be very old admixture, if it were.
I get 2% Iberian on 23andMe, but that's from my Northern Italian side.

Actually my surname is exotic itself, it means "Lettuce".
The Battle of San Pasqual was a military encounter that occurred during the Mexican-American War in what is now the San Pasqual Valley community of the city of San Diego, California. On December 6 and December 7, 1846, the Californios, and their Presidial Lancers, led by General Don Andres Pico, (1810-1876), defeated Stephen W. Kearny´s US Army column of 150 men.

My surname is very rare as well. Rare enough that anyone sharing it is a relative of mine. Even the older spelling of it is rare back in Germany, with most living in North Rhine-Westphalia.
