It’s kinda weird that minus the English, Scottish and Norwegian from her and minus the Chinese and Japanese from me, we’d have the exact same heritage.

Looking on wargs.com at the surnames in her family. In the family, there is the surname ‘Lemaster’ and that is of French origin, therefore making her having a bit of French in her. Also, i found Scottish and English too.

The name Hilton is Norwegian, not English. It is the name of August Halvorsens family farm, when he moved to the US he adopted it as a surname. He was simply August Halvorsen(from) Hilton.

you guys that are freaking out over her natural hair color and eye color- it is NOT blonde and blue. she was a blonde as a young child, but her hair is dark brown. look it up on google. as for the person ranting about her not wearing blue contacts, YES SHE DOES.
it is the reason why she has a lazy eye, she could correct the problem if she stopped wearing the blue contacts (which she only wears for the color, she does not need vision correction), but she refuses to do so.

Hi Nathan, thanks for the comment. Youre right Hilton is an English name. But if you look on the ancestry. August Halvorsen Hilton adopted the English surname when he moved to the US in the latter part of the 1800s.

Hilton is actually the name of the Norwegian farm he left.
The reason he didn’t have the name at first is because Norwegians at the time took their fathers first name as their last name and added the -sen ending.
