minus-squareBig_Bob [any]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·1 month agoTo me it sounds like an americanisation of the Norwegian surname Sørbø. It was pretty common for norwegian migrants, if they had an Ø in their name, to just remove the dash and make it an O. I’ve seen yanks named Odegard instead of the proper Ødegård, and ulvoy instead of Ulvøy, etc.
