French??
[edit]How is it a "French Surname" if the only one known for the name was a Canadian with a German father? --BjKa (talk) 12:15, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Calling it a "French Surname" without any proof is a bit of a stretch.
- "First of all, the H-A-M, is an unusual syllable in French. There’s no way that an ‘m’ can come before a ‘t’ in French. I wanted somebody to explain how that name Hamtramck could be French in any way, shape or form."

- It seems that "Hamtrenck" was a rare name in the Luxemburg area. Reminds me of Belgian names. Maybe it's Walloon or Luxembourgish. Don't know if I'd want to put those in under the label of "French", even though many of those people usually do speak French nowadays.
