Well, until some years ago, there was somebody called Pat Tornillo, mentioned very frequently in the news.
The first minister of Spain is called Rodriguez Zapatero.
I have seen the last name: "Olazabal."
My last name means: "son of Rodrigo" and comes from Spain.
Rodrigo is the name of the last Visigoth king of Spain. Century VIII. It is also the name of El Cid Campeador, Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar

My last name (Amorim) comes from Portugal, too. It means a kind of peach, called in old times 'amerim'. The name came originally from latin.

I have a friend whose last name is Kraphol. He pronounces it like Craypole, but we'll all know what it spells.
I have no idea where it came from.
My last name is Irish but that's all I know... don't know what it means.
