My wife's maiden name is "Sao" but she is NOT Asian, nor is anyone in her family. They also have NO Asian features.
They are originally from Ghana, which is an African country. Her parents, grandparents, great grandparents and great-great Grandparents are all Ghanian. No one appears to have married an Asian person.
So what's up with her last name?
Ancestors.com just said the last name was "Unexplained".
So I guess my question is, "How does an African family end up with an Asian sounding last name?"
