Brock’s ethnicity has many intrigued, as his enormous physique leaves one wondering what people could produce such a freak of nature. The UFC did not even have gloves that would fit his enormous hands.
Brock’s paternal grandfather was Edward Casper Lesnar (the son of August Lesnar/Lesner and Martha Ann Biczchowski/Krzebiatkowski). Edward was born in South Dakota. August was born in Poland, and was the son of Józef/Joseph Lasnart/Lesnar (whose parents were Anton Lasnart/Lesnar/Lesner and Marianna Heva Naczk) and Rosalia Eva Miotke (the daughter of Franciszek/Franz “Frank” Miotke and Paulina/Pauline Uzdrowska/Uzdrowski). Brock’s great-grandmother Martha was born in South Dakota, the daughter of Polish parents, Julius Krzebiatkowski, from Zbychowo, and Anna Burzyńska/Burzynski, from Kielno.
Brock’s paternal grandmother was Myrtle Dorothy Baule (the daughter of John Baule, Jr. and Minnie L. Pigors). Myrtle was born in South Dakota. John was born in Iowa, to German parents. Minnie was German.
Brock’s maternal grandfather’s surname was Bakke. The surname is Norwegian.

Norwegian
LesnEr is German surname (west prussia), but LesnAr is not so common in Germany, theres some Lesnar in Poland (and Lesnarowski). -er is germanic suffix, but -ar is used in some slavic surnames. Poles have been emigrating in Germany for centuries, so maybe they lost -owski.
Anyhow, with -ar as a suffix i hardly believe its German.
BTW theres a stereotipe about Nordic-Scandinavian-Germanic blue eyed super humans
Anyone seen some tall, blond, blue eyed Pole, Czech, Russian, Croatian, Letonian?
I’m from South Dakota and actually watched Lesnar wrestle multiple times in high school. You’re correct in saying that the majority of South Dakotans are German and Norwegian, as am I. However, Lesnar is from Webster, where most people are of Bohemian (Czech). The names in Webster and Springfield (Bon Homme County) are very distinct.
The best way to find out is to find the origin of the name “Lesnar”.
Lesnar is from Kasuchische language (WestPrussia) and means the residents of countrisdes: lesno, lessno, Lezno(today Luzino)…
This is in Norda (Land where Kaschubian lives) It also means the resident of forest/ people that lives in forest( in Kaschubian Lang.)
Lesner = Les ( forest in Ksch ) + german ending “er” . ar is just polonised version of this surname ->Changing the er to ar is common known in Poland to hide the Kaschubian-german orgins.
Most people of Kaschubian have germans surnames.
So many Scots saying Germans and Scots are alike ,
WHY IS IT THAT THE SCOTS ADORE THE GERMANS AND NORDICS SO MUCH AND THINK THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY OF THE SAME ” RACE ” ?
I believe it has to do with the fact that Scots have a fascination with German women , they’ll do anything to get their hands on one , including bastardizing and tweaking their own ancestry. I for one am sick of these picts following germans around , I’m sick of them and their desparate vocalizations of seeking to be called germans and nordics. I find it to be CREEPY and absolutely DETESTABLE.
” My ancestors were raped by Saxons so that makes me German , this gives me the right to go to Germany and screw German women ” … DIGUSTING. Picts have the same tendencies as blacks do , they love German women so much , that they’ll do anything.
Lesnar seems to have some Russian /Slavic features along with German features , my guess is that he’s not all Scandanavian , along with this fact , all of us has to acknowledge that Lesnar was skinny as a toothpick during high school before he suddenly morphed into the glory of his current frame. So no point in correlating his current artificial make up with german ancestry.
BTW , get these picts off of me.
