My name is Weiss, which means “white” in German. Thankfully, most people who would give me a problem about it don’t know, and for those that do I explain that I’m of Russian and Polish extraction and Jewish as far back as I can trace.
That’s funny! My family name was original “LeBlanc” meaning “White” in French, but we hail back to MiQ-M’ac Indians from Nova Scotia.
