“Lukach” is a Central and Eastern European surname, either Hungarian or Slavic depending on it’s original form. I’ve seen it traced to Slovakia, Ukraine, etc. It seems to most be associated in that particular form with Ukraine.
Kelly is, of course, an Irish surname.
tag “Italian-Peruvian”: https://ethnicelebs.com/tag/italian-peruvian
Palavicini (Pallavicini) is an Italian surname

Why isn’t Irish listed?
why not Italian then?
