I'm not going to post my actual last name here, but suffice to say it is an unusual spelling of a reasonably uncommon Russian Jewish last name. Most people with this name in the U.S. are relatives. New Jersey is first, followed by New York. The weirdness is that it only appears in six states, and the other four are Florida, Oregon, Iowa, and Utah.
Iowa? Utah? It's not unthinkable for Russian Jewish immigrants to land in those states, but not to the exclusion of so many others.
