I've been told that my last name isn't an "authentic" name for where I live here in the U.S., since it is an Italian name. Yes, I come from a family of immigrants.
Mexico, like the US, has immigrants.
And lots of Germans immigrated to Mexico and South America to flee from Hitler. (Not to mention some of the Nazis who fled to South America to escape justice after the war, but they are a much smaller group.)
By and large, immigrants were more readily accepted into the culture in South America than they have been in the U.S. (For example, Argentina has lots of Italian names.) So surprise about Sheinbaum's name is a particularly U.S. perspective.
