Nov 3, 2021 at 2:54	comment	added	BrianFreud		As for "Removing or replacing surnames as a tag means that people who are primarily interested in surname studies can't follow questions about surname studies", 1) that wasn't what was suggested, and 2) that would seem the reason we're keeping the "one-name-studies" tag. As for the question regarding Linguistics SE, there's a far simpler answer I think being ignored there. If the question is being asked in a genealogy context, or for genealogical reasons, while there may be overlap with Linguistics SE, where would the average person think to look for an answer?

Nov 2, 2021 at 12:51	comment	added	user6485		Good question -- although some topics will always be on-topic for multiple sites, and surname origin may be one of them, depending on the context. Re BRCA/DNA, IIRC medical genealogy is off-topic here in all it's guises: genealogy.meta.stackexchange.com/a/1426/6485
