My Jamaican friend is a Buchanan. We've been friends long enough that we've long teased about the difference in colour between us. I asked him how a man with a "factory-installed suntan" like his came up with a Scottish name like that, and he told me with his beautifully musical accent, "Well Bill, there must have been a Scotsman in the woodpile." He says that Scottish names are very common there.
I heard some rumours that, back in the day, slaves used/had to use their owners name.
I'm already expecting the QI-Klaxon.
