Abstract

Two federal agencies have used surnames to classify persons by ethnicity. As two important twentieth‐century examples, names were used to set immigration quotas, and the Census Bureau used names as the defining characteristic of Hispanics. However, many names have been changed and, if unaltered, they are in any case an unreliable index of ethnic identity.
