I was born in the uk and when I googled my last name it said my last name is Anglo-Norman descent.

I am white female and I believe my family ancestry here in the UK quite long

I believe I also have Celtic heritage as well.

Indigenous and ethnic English, Scottish, welsh and Irish are white people

It's one of the very common welsh ones.
Historically your name was just a list of your blood line taking the first name of your father, grandfather and so on eg Mark ap David ap Peter ap Roger ap John ap Bob and so on. A long list gave you status in an area but it got a bit silly so there was a tidy up and we ended up with a handful of names which is why we're all called Jones, Davies or Williams etc.

Italy, I have an Italian last name and it's funny hearing people try to pronounce It, they stare at me after pronouncing the first 3 letters and then they stare like they are expecting me to finish it for them, I stare at them back like "nah finish it mf" 😂

Germany, but it's very common in the US. There's are about 200 people with my first name and last name as mine. Me last name has the common springs so there are even more people who's name sounds uthe same as mine.

Scottland, though many of my ancestors were from England and Northern Europe. That probably explains my pale skin. My last name is Anglo-Saxon. I had to do a family tree for a science class once. Amazing what you discover on those!

It is a german name. However my grandfather came over from Italy and had a pretty typical Italian name. My father shortened it when he got back from WW2. I thought about changing it back and I wish I did.
