When the king ordered his subjects several centuries ago to select a surname, this would certainly be an unusual selection for a surname. Or maybe not. Perhaps he raised donkeys.

Or it's a name from another language and means something entirely different. Amusing sign.
ReplyDeleteI can relate!
ReplyDeleteThere is a family in South Dakota with this name. They pronounce it Ozman. I guess it mostly works for them. I can imagine the children are teased, and maybe even the adults.
