>Turanga Leela >parents call her Leela ?????

They orphaned her, so they didn't know her first name. Also, nobody called her Turanga in front of her parents - how were they supposed to know?

i always figured it was part of the backstory of her being an 'alien' maybe her name was just leela and her mom added the turanga to make her sound alien

>>89110888
you know different cultures put family name first, right

>Amy tells Fry her name is Turanga
>this is immediately accepted and not challenged

>>89110982
You know she isn't a jap chink, right?

>>89110888
What's the problem? It's her name. Of course they call her by her name. What's the issue.

>>89110888

Oh I thought Turanga was her last name.

>>89110888
In "The Problem With Popplers" it's revealed that "Turanga" is Leela's surname.

>>89111014
No, but she is from New York.

>>89110888
Her parents are Turanga Munda and Turanga Morris. Family name comes first.

>>89111067
But it is. Leela is her first name.

>only these two cultures in a literal universe may use that order

>>89111153
Yes

I think that it's a two first names kind of deal.
She doesn't have a surname because she is an orphan.
