I wonder if this is an example of nominative determinism[0] [0]: https://en.wiki...

"Datta" as a surname (Indian origin) has a very different meaning[0] - "granted". Time for a stronger theory I suppose, "nominative determinism holds across homonyms" :-)

My favorite is Andrej Kar-path-y.

I also wish Gene Hackman had become a CRISPR scientist, not an actor.

It's not an English surname though.

That’s true but they may have grown up with English or at least studied in university where English was spoken.
