I suspect my last name was originally spelled "Mård", which is the Swedish name for a small mammal:

Since we do not have the letter "å" in English, I suppose it was transliterated to the English letter with the closest sound.
If your native tongue leaves you wondering why I would bother explain the origins of "Mord", then... never mind.
