Question: What ethnicity is my last name!?
My last name contains the consonant string "sch!." Does anyone know in what ethnicity that combination of letters is typical!? I know, offhand, that I come from Italian, Sicilian, German, Slovenian, and Croatian descent!. Can anyone with this kind of knowledge help me!? Thanks in advance!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Um, if you don't tell us what the name is, we have zero chance of guessing the ethnicity!. (Yes, I know you're not supposed to reveal personal information online, but the way to do so for a question like this is to ask about a hypothetical friend!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

How can we answer your question if you do not tell us your last name!? My last name has S,L, and E in it!. What does that tell you!? Probably absolutely nothing! Until you decide to stop playing "Guess what my last is," we cannot answer this aloof question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Last names don't prove your ethnicity to begin with!. It can indicate a possible origin of the name!.!. but that is not a guarantee!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Italian or Sicilian last names have the final in vowel, like MaSCHi, Ma SCHio, MoSCHinoWww@QuestionHome@Com

That's really not a lot to go on!. It would be helpful to know your whole last name!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My guess would be German!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
