Nationality as a Surname only in Czech or Slovak?

[Michel Beauchamp]

Happens in Canada too. Some people have the family name L’Italien which you know what it means. I even knew a kid whose last name was Marocain (Moroccan).

Or Langlais.

Fun fact: Here in Czech you also have surnames based on the cities... for example "Pražák" means From Prague... or here nearby there is a small village with like 800 people called Hnátnice and you have a surname "Hnátnický" (from Hnátnice) too...

You also have Monica Sweetheart,, nothing to do with the thread but my God she Czeched into my many of my dreams I'll see myself out

I had a friend who knew a girl named Mary Christmas. True story.

It happens a lot in French too, both as a first name or last name.

For exemple, there are a lot of women in Quebec named France. Also, the popular name François derives from Français (French).

There are people with last names such as L'anglais (The Englishman) or L'Italien (The Italian), etc. This is just off the top of my head

Though the best last name I ever heard in French was Longuepee (Long Sword)

Kind of freaked out a bit by this post as my mother’s name is France L’Italien.

In Quebec we have L'anglais, Langlois, L'allemand, D'Allemagne and L'italien.

Here in Russia we only use macho names. Only soft euros use bird names etc.
For example. Ovechkin means "he who kills dragons".
