Some immigrants complained that officials changed their names due to misunderstandings or mispronunciations during the Immigration process, particularly at entry points like Ellis Island. Officials often struggled with unfamiliar names, leading them to modify or simplify them for ease of recording. This sometimes resulted in names being altered significantly, causing frustration and a sense of loss among immigrants who wanted to preserve their cultural identity. The practice reflected broader issues of assimilation and the challenges faced by immigrants in adapting to a new society.
