"Over half of Russian migrants Americanised their names; only 4% of Irish migrants did so." Americanised, or Anglicized? I have a feeling this variation by nationality extends well beyond Russian/Irish divide, where I live many people are of German decent (42%, next closest is Irish at 11%)and German family names are the most common. When I bought my house I noticed every party involved had a German last name and that made me take more notice in general.
