Even that changes. My surname is what it is because English doesn’t have the same accents of the old German script (which isn’t used in Germany anymore), and so the spelling changed. Then over time how we pronounce it has changed to match the spelling.
Kinda interesting that at the certain point, only the surname survives

Mine also changed a few generations ago. Not drastically, but still.
