I'm thinking of changing it.

Seriously, though, it's an Anglicized version of a longer German name, Tresenreuther. Thus, everyone with my name is related to me if not directly, indirectly.

So, I walk in to a bike shop in Wildwood, FL to buy some chain lube and the lady at the cash register asks my name for their database and when I start to spell my name, she says that she knows because she worked with a lady with my last name. The main base of our family is Eastern Kentucky to Southern Indiana to Eastern Illinois so when I asked her where she was from, it was no surprise that she said Bloomington, IN. Small world.
