I am from England and Greece and all of my relatives and ancestry are Greek rather than British.

That's interesting. :)

I don't have any Greek ancestry (to my knowledge), but my first name, Luke, is of Greek origin.

I don't have any Greek ancestry; but I do have German, Irish, English, Cherokee, and French ancestry. I've always sometimes wondered how I can't have Italian ancestry since I like pizza and pasta so much.

I have only recently discovered the meaning of my last name, on a related note. It means man of the willow.

A lot of people who hear my last name for the first time (well, my birth name) think it's Greek - it almost sounds like it could be. I've also been mistaken for Armenian once or twice. The name's Hungarian, but there's a lot of Irish and Slovak, and even some Native Indian American in the pot.

I like my nationality being English or British but I would'nt rather have another nationality other than my own. My first name is Constant or Constance.

I'm half German, the other being half English, Irish, Scotch, Welsh, Native American, and French, in various proportions of ancestry.
Hubby is half Scotch, half S.African English.

I'm not Greek, but Greek culture is great! Baklava is the best food ever, and Greek kids (in my school at least) are generally totally stylish.
