    Apparently, Fück is an actual, if not particularly common, surname in the German-speaking world.

      I’m German and I’ve never heard of that name. I’m sure it exists but it must be extremely rare.

      There used to be a town in Austria called „Fucking“ but they renamed themselves to Fugging in 2020.

        They only did so because English-speaking tourists kept taking selfies with and/or stealing the signs.
