Benson didn’t look Norwegian to me.

The current British royal family also has an over-abundance of wangs.
I bet that there is a very high chance that when you meet an Indian who wears a turban, the family name will be SINGH.
The surname “Singh” is more widespread than “Patel.” ( the other very popular Indian surname ).
Singh is a common surname among Sikhs and is also used by many Hindu communities, especially in North India. It is derived from the Sanskrit word “Simha,” meaning lion.
Have you traced your family tree?
“In my family tree, I’m the sap.” - Rodney Dangerfield
Most of my family has been traced back to the seventeenth century, at least, however most of the information in Europe at least prior to 1600 is extremely sketchy. As I was working on my husband’s family, I gave him the name of an ancestor I just found. He laughed and said the surname translated to “Hell Dog”.
Good story about my first name which many think is Russian or Slavic:
Parental units were teaching two-year-old Michael how to print his name. He said “No - girl name.”
“What do you mean that’s a girl’s name?”
“Mih-chell.”
“How do you think your name SHOULD be spelled?”
I printed ‘MIKEL’.
“Dang, he’s right. It’s more phonetically correct.”
So they sent for the document and got my name legally changed for the world’s youngest case of Macho Complex.
My last name is below. From what I gather, it means my family came from Ulm, Germany.

Roughly.
I traced back one branch. McLean/McLain.
Sean Connery a VERY distant relative.
I can trace my family name all the way back to Napoleon.
When Napoleon conquered Europe, he formed civil govt instead of church govt. You had to go to the local court house and register your new name. If some one else picked your name you had to choose something else but someone in the next country could choose that name. Just because you had the same last name didn’t mean you were related. Dad always said our name meant “pleasant valley with bird song.”
Some chose funny names like stuckenbruck (stuck in pants) or “out house” thinking Napolean wouldn’t last but then they were stuck with those names. All those dutch names mean something.
If you go back 7 generations you end up with 64 different last names, baring incestuous relations... That’s a lot of different last names.

My last name can be found in the King James Bible, in the begats.
I’m a descendant of Rev. Brewster, the spiritual leader of Plymouth Colony. I also have Lee blood. I have one President in my ancestry and share a birthday with one.
There was an insurance agent in a town about 20 miles from where I live named Richard M. Nixon. I always laughed when I saw his sign at his office.
Well, that's the verbal family history of our name ...
Catholics in name only have nothing to be proud of. Everything perverted, as Pelosi says, is a sacred right to them.
Occupational names such as Baker, Farmer, Mason, Miller, are common names .
