[edit] Surname

Is her surname Chinese? Badagnani 02:23, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I thought the same thing. It turns out that's not her real name. Her legal name is Fanny Lucía Martínez de Leeu. Fanny Lú is just her artistic name/nickname that she puts on her music. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.251.240.229 (talk • contribs)

Leeu (or sometimes spelled Liu translated from the Chinese characters into the Latin alphabet) is a common Chinese surname, and of course it's quite possible that she's of Chinese or Asian descent like many Latin Americans (although many Latin Americans might object to the notion of it due to racism against Asian people), don't forget that there were immigration of large numbers into Latin America since the 1600s of Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Indians, Arabs, etc. Barbara Mori is part Japanese, and Shaila Durcal and Enrique Iglesias are part Filipino. And a few presidents of Latin America are (were) Japanese.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.33.3.80 (talk • contribs)
