German names

Its nice to be in a country where the meaning of my last name is appreciated. Germans sometimes ask me if "Goldfarb" is my real name or just an artists name. Its a Jewish name. Its my real name. "Goldfarb" means gold color or gold paint in German. Its an appropriate name for an artist but Americans just don't get it!
