My own last name is unique.

But I’ve never met a white person with the name Washington, Johnson, Williams, Jenkins.

You’ve never met a white Washington or Williams?

I’ve never met a white Freeman, or Coleman for that matter

Adolf Hitler totally ruined a surname, after WWII dozens of dudes in Austria had to change their surnames and burn family records.

Yo. I never thought about that. Damn.

 

[get these nets]

I ain't met a Vandross, Warwick, Fishburne or a Barrino yet.

What are some really rare surnames that you don't hear at all or too often?

I think Vandross is Dutch. The weirdest surname I can think of on an afram has to be Chuck D. It's like some type of German-Jewish name

Common British/Welsh/Scottish names like Williams, Jones, Smith etc., are very common amongst black Americans since most of us had ancestors that were enslaved by early arriving English/Scottish people.

Most whites, especially outside the South are recent arrivals compared to us and they often have last names black folks don't have.

Weren't many, if any, Greek/Polish/Italian etc., slave owners...so of course you're not going to see Rashad Stamos, DeAndre Krzyzewski or Jamal D'Antoni......more like Rashad Smith, DeAndre King and Jamal Davis.

Some blacks had ancestors enslaved by non English/Gaelic (Scottish and Irish) speaking people, like Germans. You'll see brehs with names like Weber or Wagner. Probably no Eichmann, Braun or Mueller though.

I hope the name Trump follows the same trajectory

For real.....George Washington was the last white person in history to have his surname. We dont know anything about his (fully white) kids he had with his formaly white wife .

But he had a ton of kids with black female slaves and have a ton of black people with his surname
