I knew a guy in college that had the name "Harrison". He was from south-east asia. In fact, he told me that from where he comes from, they don't have such thing as first and last name, his name was really just "Harrison". But since no one in the "western world" could handle that, he used Harrison both as first and last name.

Lessons for me: things might be very different on the other side of the globe. Don't try to arrogantly believe you can judge wether things can be true or not from your limited experience and imagination.

People that don't have family names often use patronyms and the "[W]estern world" seems to cope just fine.

Harrison ben Harry, Harrison Harrinpoika, Harrison Fitzharry¹ or what have you.

1 - all mean "Harrison son of Harry"
