Going back in my family records our sur-name was much more germanic when we arrived and it was “Americanized” in two generations.

From the story I was told, it happened to my grandfather fairly quickly, what is weird, is the original form of his surname is fairly common now and is considered very American. I think movie stars and others in show business fit the question of what is their true name best. Very common for people to get their names changed when they go into show business, if they become famous/popular, in the eyes of the public, that is their true name, not the original.
