I understand your explanation about family names, their derivation, and origination. Here's another aspect you might wish to consider.

There are businesses that specialize in working with foreign companies when they wish to introduce a new product outside of their borders. Sometimes an inoffensive name in one language can be insulting or offensive in another language. These companies understand that if they want to succeed in their new market, it benefits them to make necessary adjustments, including name changes for their new customer base. Even if their name was successful or noble in their native tongue, they realize that it's easier to change that name rather than create an obstacle for themselves.

Here are a few examples of real products with failed names. They are not Photoshopped labels, these packaged food items actually exist.
NOTE: some might find a few of the listings offensive, so please don't click the link if you never watch R rated movies
