What's unusual about Jan's last name?

  • It's very common

Answer

The answer is that it has a prefix. Many Spanish surnames have a patronymic prefix, which indicates the father's name. Jan's last name is "García", and the prefix "Gar" comes from the name "Garci", a diminutive form of "García". This is a common naming convention in Spanish-speaking cultures.
