Mine is an interesting thing in itself. My mom has a coworked in a different office who is a Muslim from Damascus with the same last name (down to the spelling, which is a bit odd, as we added the first letter to make it more pronounceable to Americans - it didn't work).
And every time I dropped off dry cleaning with this Indian couple down the street from my parents house, the woman would always ask me to spell my last name, squint at me, and go "Are you Jewish?"
