It's an Anglo-Saxon name (English), interestingly it says someone known as 'A Funes' landed in New Orleans in 1845.

Also, don't be offended Mecha. The Anglo-Saxons were predominantly found in present day England and English Americans make up the largest proportion of the white population in the U.S. Statistically it's third on the most recent census after German and Irish ancestry but English ancestory has a tendancy to be disregarded by simply identifying yourself as 'American'.

But Funes is mostly a common name among Spanish/Hispanic people. I'm not a Funes, but one of my ancestors was. I don't live in the UK, so I'm not sure how common the name Funes really is over there.

If you look at the houseofnames website I showed you, and look at the funes settlers in north america, it's all pretty spanish and even lousiana. So your probably right. Maybe it took on a more spanish feel to it then english.

I'm actually Honduran. But my family looks white as fuck, so I don't think it was that long ago since my ancestors arrived here from Europe. Still, it isn't clear where the name Funes even comes from?
