Birth Name: Kristen Jaymes Stewart
Place of Birth: Los Angeles, California, United States

*father – English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, distant German and French

Kristen Stewart is an American actress, model, and director. She is known for starring as Bella in the Twilight films, and for her many roles across both wide and indie releases, including The Messengers, Adventureland, Still Alice, Personal Shopper, Spencer, and Undertow.
Her father, John Stewart, is an American stage manager and television producer. He has English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, and distant German and French, ancestry.
Her mother, Jules Mann-Stewart (originally Urman), is a script supervisor and director. Kristen’s mother was adopted by Norma Beatrice (Gordezky) and Benny Urman. They were a Jewish couple residing in California, who had married in 1947, and adopted Kristen’s mother in 1953. They also spent time in Maroochydore, Australia during her mother’s teenage years.
Kristen’s mother was raised Jewish. At the time, most Jewish couples in the United States adopted babies who had a Jewish biological mother (and sometimes a Jewish biological father as well).
A 23andMe DNA test taken by Kristen stated that Kristen’s genetic ancestry is:
*24% Ashkenazi Jewish
Given Kristen’s DNA results, it is likely that her biological maternal grandmother was Jewish.
Kristen’s paternal grandfather was Carroll Dale Stewart (the son of Alonzo Milton “Lonnie” Stewart and Euna “Una” Pendery/Pendry). Carroll was born in Missouri. Alonzo was the son of Allen Stewart and Rebecca Ann “Becky” Brewer. Euna was the daughter of James E. Pendry/Pendery and Mary Etta Townsend, whose own maternal grandparents were Irish.
Kristen’s paternal grandmother was Helen Grayce Hayden (the daughter of Benjamin J. “Jack” Hayden and Hazel Hortense Higbee). Helen was born in Missouri. Benjamin was the son of Elijah William “E. W.”/Bud Hayden and Mary Jenkins. Hazel was the daughter of John Lee Higbee and Catherine Eleanor “Kate” Marks.
Kristen’s adoptive grandfather Benny Urman was born in Oklahoma, the son of Polish Jewish parents, Joseph/Joe Urman and Sadie Weintraub.
Kristen’s adoptive grandmother Norma Gordezky was born in Illinois, the daughter of Russian Jewish parents, Sam Gordezky and Sophie/Sophia Goldstein.

DHAT BITCH IS A WHORE!!!!!!
http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Mann
Mann is an Anglo-Saxon surname, and I highly doubt her mother is of German ancestry, about 40% of Austrailans are of English Heritage :)
The surname Mann, is still Germanic. It was the old German word for man, so she still might be German on her mother’s side instead of English. I hope she is part German.
I dont think its impossible for her to have German Australian roots. Im from OZ and I met quite a few people with Germanic names.
i love that australia is also called OZ , i mean United States ,US, just dosent sound cool lol
Like I said, I hope she is part German, it’d make a nice change. Plus, I like Germany and I like Kristen. <3
im part german too, but on my dads side, hes english,and so am i, i was just going off what my mum had said to me, shes austrailian too she says in austraila most people are if english and irish ancestry from the criminals that were shipped there in something like the 18th or 19th idk:)
i think she’s nice but she got THAT german jaw :P
oh god,what a comment!and what a stereotype…
There are distinctive types of jaws, eyes, noses, mouths and so on common to different countries and races. Is it wrong to acknowledge them? If we weren’t observant we’d never get anywhere.
How Is She Scottish – German When Both Her Parents Are American?
And It Doesnt Say Her Parents Are Of Descent?
Ethnic….Help!
I think thats her ancestry.

I understand what your saying,but it’s the same thing they say to us African Americans,although I don’t know if your that.They say we shouldn’t call ourselves African,but then I ask what are we supposed to call ourselves,Black?Although that would be just fine with me since I rarely call myself AA,unless it’s for business etc
But Its Strange!
My Last Name Is Harvey; Which Is European Origin (It Came From More Than One Country In Europe. My Mom’s Last Name Is Fogah (I Honestly Don’t Know The Origin Of Fogah Name, The Computer Doesn’t Know Either. Fuzzybear And Ethnic If You Can Find The Origin Of The Fogah Name, I Will Always Love You! But I Won’t Love You In That Way Cuz I’m Not Gay, No Offense To Anyone Who Is.) And My Maternal Grandmother’s Name Is Lawrence; Which Is Also European and Latin Origin. And My Maternal Great Grandmother’s Surname Was Sutherland; Because Her Father (My 2nd Great Grandfather) Was A White Jew And Her Mother (My 2nd Great Grandfather) Was Moroon, So She Was Biracial. And The Name Sutherland Is Of Scottish, Norse Origin. And Lastly (Cuz I Dont Wanna Go Too Far) My Paternal Grandmother’s Surname Is Duffus Which Is Of European Origin Again!
So Does That Make Me Europe. Please Explain Fuzzybear Or Ethnic, Cuz I Only Run To You With Questions Like This!
Duffus is Scottish, Fogah seems to be English
You can google these names eg. “Fogah surname”

I’ve never heard of this name either,but that doesn’t mean much.Like Ethnic,I seeing reference to English,but also to Semitic,but nothing definite. Back in the day a lot of people couldn’t read or write,or had any schooling.So sometimes people spelled names the best way they could.You have to remember names are just made up.People take letters and make names,or maybe they saw something,like it and spell it the best way they could,who knows.Back in the day with movies,it always made me laugh,when someone would mark their name with an (X).Fogah might not even have a meaning,so don’t put to much stock in a name.Now this is just my opinion,disregard if you wish
Thank You Ethnic And Fuzzybear
