Is it some cultural phenomena?

In Russia, if a man with surname, say "Подставной" (smth. like "Dummy", "Faked", "Setuped") tried to assasinate some public person, there will be tons of posts everywhere pointing to his surname, from jokes to conspiracy theories, with memes and all that stuff.

We think that people have their surnames not randomly, they often come from real properties, occupations and skills of their ancestors, so something still stays in genetic of that people.

It is not very nice to always do that, but at such occasions it is inevitable.

Meanwhile, same with Biden, Trump and others with "speaking" surmanes (Biden - one who bide, Trump - card-player). Saw very little playing with their surnames, and mostly it is done through distortimg surnames, not playing with direct meanings.

Just an observation. :)
