Angeli is a pretty common Italian last name?

What are you confused about? Steve's family is of Hungarian descent, not Italian.

I don't know a lot of Italians named Janos...

Right but would be pretty uncommon to have an Italian surname and not have Italian lineage.
Angeli is also a Hungarian surname. I don't understand why this is hard to understand.

1. How many non-Italians do you know with the last name Angeli(which is latin-italian in origin)?
2. *Looks around the room* I don't think anyone argued that Angeli was 100% Italian. Janos is a slavic name. I have a friend who is named Janos and he's 1/4 Scot.

It's also (and primarily) an Italian surname. Not sure what is so hard to understand that people think he might be Italian or have some Italian lineage

I was making a joke of Jersey folks that pretend to be Italian
Dude, a simple Google search of the name "Janos Angeli" will show that is a Hungarian name. Just because you and most everyone assumed it was Italian, doesn't make it so.

Based on on "family search" profile of a guy that died in 1907(I saw the other thread)?
Again, everyone knows people with blended names of origin. His mom's first name(the spelling) is of Greek origin! So based on this name origination theory he's definitely more than Hungarian. So far we have Hungarian, Greek, and Italian(latin).

Another incorrect statement. Weird. For a guy with "inside sources," you sure cling to false assumptions about easily learned information.Based on on "family search" profile of a guy that died in 1907(I saw the other thread)?

Angeli is a common last name in Hungary as well, the origin may not only be Italian.
It is 100% not correct that the name Janos Angeli is Hungarian based solely on one person who died in 1907.

The origin would be Italian. It just means "many" people in Hungary have the name..because of well.. basic world history.
LOL. Now we're going to shift goal posts to "well, it's a Latin based name, so he would still be Italian." Hilarious.

That's not a shift of goal posts. I was clarifying his remark.
Then to further clarify yours, Italian and Latin are different languages. So not all Latin/Romance languages would be Italian.

No shit!
That does not change the fact that Angeli is still of Italian origin as a name...or that his mother's name is of Greek origin..and he could have a blended background which *gasp* includes Italian.
No, it is not. Angeli is a Latin-derived name, not Italian. The Italian and Hungarian surnames are derived from Latin. Your insistence on making a kid and his family of a different national ancestry rather than just admit you are incorrect is beyond weird.
