New York passenger list had 5. However only 2 gave place of origin. One was Sebian and one Italian(south).
The same surname can come from more than one nationality. Also description of pigmentation etc doesn't always tell you a person's origins.
Baltimore Passenger list had 1 from Hungary.
The origin of a surname or a person's appearance is not a concern of genealogy.
The individuals' ancestry are traced not their name or their appearance.

nope, nope
A persons nationality is the country where they are a citizen of. I was born in the US, that is my 'nationality', although my background (ancestors) were Polish. If I got a wild idea and moved elsewhere, and changed my citizenship, then it all goes out the window.
In addition (or even more so) a person's NAME is not always where their ancestors actually come from. Many names have different places that they appeared (or came from) at the same time. I know..we all assume certain names 'must' come from this country or the other, but that's not accurate. The other tricky thing is that people sometimes accept themselves as "I must be Irish because I have an Irish name"... then they start doing real research, and find out that grandpa was born in Germany, and adopted at age 3 by the O'Malley family.
Moral of the story- you might ask what her ancestry is, but it is NOT tied to what the name is.

My surname is Ramirez. I have no idea if it first belonged to a courtier, a prostitute, a soldier who served with Hernán Cortés, a shoemaker in the Castilian kingdom, a Spanish don in newborn Mexico, a royal Aragon guard, or someone else high up in my family line, but all I know is that: 1) It's Spanish, and 2) there are damn too many people alive with the last name Ramirez, Gonzalez, Hernandez, Rivera, Martinez, Velasquez, Gomez, Valdez, and anything else ending with "ez", "es", or "era". -___-

Stop wondering and ask her! Just say, your last name is interesting, which country does it come from?
