I have a very common English first name. Biblical name. I've met plenty of people with the same name.
Family name is one of many variations of a last name I don't know how common it is in general. Looked it up and apparently it's an Americanized variant and apparently rare Swedish variant of a Swedish last name that's a patronymic from a personal name. Not gonna say what name because it could give away the spelling.
I've never been to Sweden, nor do I really consider myself having much of any European roots in general outside of ancestors having lived there and probably living there now, but I am not about to be the person to say that makes me anywhere near European when I've lived in North America my whole life. I cannot say I have any connections or traditions that may go on in wherever any family I may have over there that my family practices since our family has probably been here many generations.
Closest connection would be an old family Bible. It's big and I'm pretty sure it's written in German if I remember correctly. Currently in my dad's possession. Family heirloom, I guess.
I can tell you that knowing where my ancestors have come from did inspire the name for my fursona ( last name Hemming ), but that's minor influence since I picked the name because I like how it sounds and because Earnest Hemingway ( haven't read his stuff, so don't count me as an intellectual in that way ).
