Dear Professor Tieken, 

Greetings from CA. 

Actually, one of the attorneys, who was involved with the visa trouble I had in the U.S., has the last name English. I have no idea what his last name implies.

Regards,
rajam

Dear List Members,

Recently, there was a webmail entry in a Tamil forum about including a language-name in one’s personal name. 

There are numerous personal names that include the word “Tamil” in some form. So, the author of the enquiry was wondering if there would be a similar practice in other languages. I know for sure that "English” is the last of name of some individuals I know. 

Further examples and descriptions would be appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
rajam
