I just met an Irish guy named Costello, the fuck? How is that not Italian?

Next your gonna tell me there's an Italian name like "McPattyleanein" or something.

I always thought Costello was simply an Italian surname because of Abbott and Costello.

Lou Costello (1906–1959), Italian-American actor and comedian (born Louis Francis Cristillo), part of Abbott and Costello

I was a boy in the 1970s. I watched a zillion hours of tv as a teen and teen - especially cop shows. If I heard the name Costello in fiction - I bet it was the surname of cop or a criminal in a tv cop series due to this guy.

Frank Costello (born Francesco Castiglia; January 26, 1891 – February 18, 1973) was an Italian-American crime boss of the Luciano crime family.
