Should there be a section for Jews?
I can think of a few names..."Aaron" for men, "Esther" for women, "Goldstein" and "Diamond" for surnames. The problem is what to name the folder. "Jews" is too broad, "American Jews" is too narrow...

- From Wikipedia's "Native American surnames" category:
- Begay (from Navajo for "his/her son")
- Deloria (Sioux, from French trapper Philippe des Lauriers)
- Echohawk (after a Pawnee leader)
- Harjo (from Muscogee Creek for "so brave as to seem crazy")
Because it seems to the result of someone mistaking this trope for an attempt to provide useable names for characters rather than names commonly used in fiction. If anyone has actually seen these names used commonly in fiction, please put it back in the examples section.

Could swear this one's Basque.
