Uzvārds kā degzīme ādā  
Pirms kāda laika biju aizdomājies, kāpēc Malkolms X ir "X", un nu arī viņa paša atbilde atnāca caur Survival Kitā sadzirdēto Larry Achiampong:

"My father didn't know his last name. My father got his last name from his grandfather and his grandfather got it from his grandfather who got it from the slavemaster. The real names of our people were destroyed during slavery. The last name of my forefathers was taken from them when they were brought to America and made slaves, and then the name of the slavemaster was given, which we refuse, we reject that name today and refuse it. I never acknowledge it whatsoever."

Ir arī video.

Gandrīz visi latvieši var teikt apmēram tāpat.

Šis tas esot bijis arī agrāk - "Pirmie lībiešu un senlatviešu cilmes uzvārdi avotos sastopami Livonijas konfederācijas pilsētās pastāvīgi dzīvojošajiem līvu un latviešu ģilžu amatniekiem 14. gadsimtā".

Vairāk un visai interesanti te: http://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvie%C5%A1u_v%C4%81rdi
