Im sorry but this thread is just full of insanely dumb comments.
Like it's like reading kindergarteners talk about something.
"vincent isnt a european name" like wtf?
How are people people confused about immigration, culture and ethnicity? These are basic ass concepts for an adult.
"wow a guy with the surname galchenyuk is american, how can that happen???"
"wow get this. his name is lucic but he's from canada!"
IT is however very smart to go bonkers over such thing and feel intelectually superior
The question is about players whos names sound european and people thought they are euros. Galchenyuk is a good example, internationally plays for USA but has a totally russian/ukrainian name. Not like Brady Tkachuk or Cody Golubef who are oviously americans or canadians because nobody in Russia or Ukraine names kids Brady or Cody. But Alexander is the most popular name in Russia/Belarus/Ukraine.
So yes, if you see a guy named Alexander Galchenyuk, or Nikita Nesterenko, or Arthur Kaliyev you would assume they are from Europe. And you are not a kindergardener or lacking the concept of immigration because of this.
