Earlier this week, a compilation of 35 surnames went viral after ancestry experts revealed they could be linked to the Royal Family.
Unsurprisingly, the news has piqued the interest of a number of internet users, who are now hoping their own research will uncover a big-name relative, like a philosopher, a musician or an artist.
Or perhaps - a politician? Maybe one with a particularly bronzed face, a bold approach to global tariffs and a $200m plan for the White House? Yep, that's right.
Apparently, there's a way of checking whether or not you could be a relative to the 45th and 47th President of the United States (and the first convicted criminal to serve in this position), Donald Trump.

This can reportedly be done by cross-referencing a series of surnames, with a number being linked to the Republican's heritage in Europe.
Drumpf
Not too dissimilar in sound from the President's actual moniker, apparently, 'Drumpf' was a title used by his ancestors as far back as his paternal grandfather, Friedrich.

Friedrich Drumpf, a businessman born in in Kallstadt, Germany - in what was then the Kingdom of Bavaria - moved to the United States in 1885, at just 16 years of age.
As a surname, 'Drumpf' has been a popular surname in Germany since the 16th century.
In America, Trump's grandfather began speculating in real estate in Seattle before moving to the Yukon during the Gold Rush, and earning a fortune by operating a restaurant and a brothel for miners.

His name was subsequently Anglicised to become Frederick Trump, as per Snopes - a name that was passed down to his son and the President's father, Fred Trump.
MacLeod
Despite the Republican's severe views on immigration in the States, the father-of-five himself comes from a family that hailed from Scotland.
His mother, Mary Anne Macleod moved from the UK to New York in 1930, but was born in the village of Tong on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides in 1912.

In the States, she worked as a house servant until she met and married property developer Fred Trump.
To this day, however, 'MacLeod' is still one of the most prevalent surnames in Scotland.
There are also several different variations to the moniker, including McLeod, M'Leod, McCloud, Macleod, as per Stuff.

Interestingly, Trump has never attempted to deny his UK-immigrant roots, and actually owns a number of golf courses and resorts across his mother's homeland.
So, there you have it. If you're a Drumpf, or a MacLeod, you could have blood ties to the Oval Office occupier himself.
Oh, and if we caught your attention by mentioning the list of names that could also be related to royalty, check it out right here.
