For example, after WWI, German immigrants routinely changed their German sounding names to avoid repercussion. Russian Jews and the Chinese did the same. When Locke's grandmother first arrived from China, I bet she didn't have birth certificate, so I suppose the immigration officer just granted her a last name "Locke" (Lok). Nowadays, most immigrants just keep their original names, or unless you want to name yourself "Lady Gaga" or something weird like that :-)exilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17028869.post-41785689944451292322010-01-06T00:02:57.197+08:002010-01-06T00:02:57.197+08:00Exile,Furthermore, former canada governess general...Exile,Furthermore, former canada governess general: Adrienne Clarkson is a chinese woman from HK, she keeps the last name of his divorced husband, and even later she remarried and yet keeping Clarkson as her last name.the inner spacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17028869.post-63650460239626158842010-01-05T23:15:02.155+08:002010-01-05T23:15:02.155+08:00Exile from Hong Kong, Former Washington state gove...Exile from Hong Kong, Former Washington state governor and present commerce secretary Gary Locke is a chinese American, his way of spelling his chinese last name did not suggest his chinese origin.the inner spacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17028869.post-21595589227279914182010-01-05T13:34:01.757+08:002010-01-05T13:34:01.757+08:00Marry someone for his European last name, haha...?...Marry someone for his European last name, haha...??

Do you know westerners didn't have hereditary surnames until 1000 years ago?<br />Well, America is a country of immigrants. Before meeting someone, I<br />suppose people will have a mental picture of what the person is supposed to<br />look like. A "Johnson" vs a "Wong". A "Churchill" vs a " Parris". Even<br />though you can't be so sure any more nowadays. Racial profiling bases on our<br />last names is an unspoken tactic people use everyday in the real world in America. <br />I wouldn't be so naive to think that my Chinese last name won't hurt me when I send <br />out resumes. Also we have common regional last names. For example, in my city<br />in southern California, if someone is a "Silva", the chance is that their people were <br />fishermen from a hundred years ago. Or hey if you are a Rockerfeller, you better<br />be rich, right? <br /><br />Sounds like the Chinese hereditary surnames mostly derived from geography. <br />In the west, they often use physical characteristic, e.g a man with strong arm <br />became "Armstrong"; also by place, "Churchill" is for someone lived near<br />a church on the hill, then there is "Johnson", derived from the son of John.<br /><br />Interesting stuff.
