Earlier this year, the website Genealogyintime.com published an interesting article that cited a modern day study about why immigrants may change their names to being more ethnically neutral or more resembling names of their new country.
Although the study was done in the modern day, it is logically tempting to extrapolate its findings to the past. You can read the article at http://tinyurl.com/29srumj.
Oh, and the reason for changing one's name....money, of course.
