HelpThoughts on foreign FN with local LN?
I’ve been thinking recently that you’ll see a lot more often a foreign family name with a local given name (e.g. Claire Zhang or Jack Ahmad in the USA) for fairly self-explanatory reasons, but—especially in the modern day—surely there must be the opposite (e.g. something like Ayele Johnson or Yeonhwa Smith in the USA)?
But I’m not certain I’ve ever really seen it, usually just both local, both foreign, or local FN with foreign LN.
(And of course this is my understanding as an American, but I believe similar is true in other places, which is why I chose generic terms like ‘foreign’ and ‘local’, if that makes sense.)
Anyway, I don’t really have anywhere I’m going with this, mostly curious if anyone had any thoughts on the subject :)
(Sorry if this isn’t the right board, as well)
