That document (that you've poorly linked[1]) puts the percentage of British immigrants at 9%, Irish at 10%, of German at 18%, and of French at 0.9%. All those numbers are totally meaningless. The population of the US as a whole that was foreign born was 14.7%. That too, is meaningless. In the 1890 census, closest to when Tesla was naturalized, it was also around 15% [2].

I don't know what narrative you're trying to debunk, because 15% year by year for years and years is high. The UK, which is a top destination for immigration, has never been close to that number until very recently. [3] But really, what I actually find weird is that you're trying to debunk some narrative.

What do you think is the relative statistical frequency of Balkan last names of American citizens relative to one's of English, Germanic, and Gaelic origin, and why?

And how do you think that ties in with the idea of a name being inherently more likely to be known by foreign groups and associated with that country?

I guess I understand your point though, that Tesla himself is very much an "American" and therefore Tesla is a household American name. Seems we've derailed very far though from the original discussion.

My point was that it's an American name because it's a part of American history. That's all.
