Regarding this, see Wikipedia:Copyright in lists. Facts can't be copyrighted, but the decision to include some facts but not others in a list can be copyrighted if that decision involves creativity. For example a list of all books written by a certain author can't be copyrighted, but a selected list of books could be if those books are what the compiler believes are the most illustrative or significant ones. The copyright is claimed on that judgement. Here it looks like the entries have been selected by the author to illustrate their point about the origins of the surname. If that's the case then they could certainly claim copyright on it. Hut 8.5 18:21, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised. Nothing surprises me when it comes to copyright law. Thanks for clarifying. To tell you the truth, the source from much that list was taken does not look like the most reliable. I expect a better one could be found. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:31, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
