Ive been wondering about my middlename. Anyway I'm from Philippines and I consider myself Filipino but my middle name is Martinique. It is pronouce "Mar-ti-ni-ke" in Filipino. Anyway its such a rare last name in the Philippines I haven't heard someone with that lastname .I asked my mom and she doesn't know and have no clue at all my grandma's last name is Colucci (before she was married) We pronouce it as "KO-LU-SI" in Tagalog. Anyway both my mom and grandmother were all born here but my grandma said she remembers her grandparents are not from Philippines.
I'm just curious any clue?

the spelling is French
and your grandma's name is Italian. And since Italy and France are neighbouring countries, maybe some of your ancestersare from there too...
