 Ian Fleming was also British, not from Flanders.
 Ian Paisley was (and Ian Óg Paisley is) not from Paisley.
 George C. Scott was from West Virginia, not Scotland.
 Neither the actor James Franco nor the deceased caudillo of Spain have any
immediate family background in Franconia, nor even France.
 Percy French, Irish songwriter, was not French by nationality.
 Counterexample; Charles de Gaulle was French, but his name was Dutch.
 Complication; Chester Nimitz was of recent German descent, but had US
nationality; his family name is of Slavic origin but designates a German.
 I’m sure I could (and we could) keep going with these!
As a possible counterexample, what about Deutsch and Deutscher, which seem to be reasonably common surnames in Germany?
