Yes, and it was not unusual that emigrants changed their names when they arrived in the U.S, like my great grandfather Anders and his brother. (Anders kept his new surename when he returned to Sweden in 1886). Sometimes it's easy to derive the origin of a new surename and sometimes the answer is simply that they chose a name they liked!
