America is noted for having whatever names people want. In fact, in most of the world, names have meanings ~ in America they are just names.

Took me a good 50 years to do enough research in the most obscure parts of history to find out what my surname meant ~ and when I succeeded in that most awesome task I found there were a good dozen spellings of the primary core of the name and maybe over a hundred other variations based on varying pronunciations in languages that've been extinct for well over 1000 years.

Folks fresh off the Boeing don't usually have that problem and might well think those spellings are strange.
