There are quite a few surnames found throughout Middle Eastern & South Asian countries that have also been known as ethnic European surnames. Haque - A common last name in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh is also known as an ethnic English surname dating back all the way to the 1670s. English Haque seemed to have originated from the Durham-Yorkshire region of the United Kingdom and it is believed to be a variant of the Hague surname which is still common in both the UK and the United States present day. The English Haque surname slowly became outnumbered by South Asian Haque's as more and more Muslims began immigrating to the UK in the latter part of the 1900s. There are records of English Haques in the United States from websites such as myHeritageDNA and Ancestry.com dating back to the 1800s.
