I did a little checking. Most Saints with commoner names are differentiated by saying 'of such and such a place' Example: St. Francis of Assisi & St. Francis de Sales. The closest I saw to use of a last name is this:\nSt. Thomas Aquinus and St. Thomas More.

This will normally not be translated.\nIt is perfectly possible to maintain the Latin alphabet for writing names.

Fidel Castro\n\n\nAs an example (see the diagram below), José López marries María Famosa. Their son is named Juan López Famosa. Juan, in turn marries Isabel Fernández García. The son of Juan and Isabel could be named Pedro López Fernández, Pedro López y Fernández, Pedro López Famosa y Fernández, or Pedro López Famosa y Fernández García - the last two forms preserving the "Famosa" surname for future generations.\n\n\nIt is important to note that, in Hispanic cultures, wives retain their maiden names when they marry. They can legally add their husband's surname(s) after their own, preceded by the word "de" ("of", implying "spouse of"). Thus, in the preceding example, Isabel Fernández could sign her name as Isabel Fernández de López, or as Isabel Fernández García de López Famosa. If her husband has died, she can use the words "viuda de" (widow of), abbreviated "vda. de", instead of just "de".

Proper names and titles of people and things are often pronounced the same as they would be in their original language.  So it would be the same, only with a Spanish sound to it.  Rent Willy Wonka in Spanish and see for yourself.

Place names are commonly Anglicised, as in the Italian city of Napoli, known in English as Naples; or the German city of München (Munich). Such Anglicisation of place names was once universal: nearly all cities and people discussed in English writing up through the mid-20th century were called by Anglicised names. Towards the end of the 20th century, more direct use of non-English names in English began to become more common. When dealing with languages that use the same Latin alphabet as English, names are usually simply written in English exactly as they would be in the original language, often even with diacritical marks that do not normally exist in English. With languages that use non-Latin alphabets, such as the Arabic, Cyrillic, and Greek alphabets, a direct transliteration is typically used, in order to secure faithfulness to the original pronunciation rather than conformance to the norms of English.\n\nIn some cases this shift away from Anglicisation has become a matter of national pride — especially in regions that were once under colonial rule, where vestiges of European cultural domination are a sensitive subject — and the old names have been officially discouraged: China's Peking is now Beijing, and India's Bombay is now Mumbai. In other cases, firmly entrenched Anglicised names have remained in common use, especially where there is no polarising national pride at stake: This is the case with Munich, Naples, Rome, Athens, and a host of other western European cities whose names have been familiar in their Anglicised forms for centuries.\n\nSometimes a place name appears Anglicised, but is not. In some cases, the form being used in English is an older name that has now been changed. For example, Turin in the Piedmont area of Italy, is named Turin in the original Piedmontese language, but now officially known as Torino in Italian. In some cases, English-language media overcompensates for this in the mistaken belief that the name being used in English was imposed by English speakers and is some sort of injustice.\n\nPersonal names were also heavily Anglicised, such as the German Johann (John), Russian Piotr (Peter), Greek Giorgos (George), and Hebrew Yeshua (Joshua). During the influx of large numbers of immigrants from Europe to the United States and Britain during the 19th and 20th centuries, the names of immigrants were changed. Urban legend holds that this was often done by the officials while entering the immigrants' names into immigration records, but was far more frequently an effort by the immigrants themselves to make their names more accessible to their new American or British neighbours.[1]\n\nSurnames were often forcibly changed by the British Empire. A good example of this can be seen in many of the surnames of families in Ireland – for example, Ó Briain has often become Brian, Ó Rothlain became Rowlan, and Ó Néill became O'Neill. Similarly, the native Scottish names were altered such as Somhairle to Sorley, Mac Gill-Eain to MacLean, Mac Aoidh to MacKay and so on.\n\nOne such example of an Anglicised name is the case of an 18th-century Luxembourger named Joachim Grün, whose family name is the German word for Green. When his descendants moved to the United States in the mid 19th century, the family name was Anglicised to Green. An example of changing one's given name from fiction occurs in the 1987 movie The Untouchables, where one of the characters Anglicised his name from Giuseppe to George (despite the fact that the English equivalent is Joseph) in order to assimilate into American society.\n\nThe Anglicisation of a personal name now usually depends on the preferences of the person bearing the name. Given-name changes are less common today for Europeans coming to the United States than they are for people originating in East Asian countries. For instance, Xiangyun might be Anglicised to Sean (the pronunciation of "Sean" being reasonably similar to "Xiang&qu

No--not unless it is a proper noun (like someone's name).

what a stupid question. What constitutes a "strange name". Maybe the name "Smith" or "Jones" is hilarious in some languages

It's a Hispanic name.  Could be from Spain, or anywhere in Latin America from Mexico to Chile.

There is a town in England called 'Warwick' and it is very common that family names in England can originate from the town of the families origin, many many, years ago. There are names around today, in many countries around the world, that still originate from the families ancestoral homes in Northern Europe/Britain. Go to this website and try to find your surname origins.........it will tell you which regions in England have that surname, maybe its english, maybe its not, but i think so as Warick is a very old town and many surnames come from them.....even though the spelling has an extra 'r' in the middle.

Maybe, maybe not.  My last name is Latin, but none of my family is Latin (my father's family came from Scotland).  You would have to research your family tree to know.
