Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always thought that Turanga was Leela's surname or family name and Leela was her given name. Wasn't her father's full name Turanga Morris? I know some people/cultures say their surname first and their given name second so I kinda assumed this was the case here. Which leads me to another question. Assuming this theory is true, how would the orphanage know that Turanga was her surname and not her given name? I mean if it was written down on the note somewhere that her name is Turanga Leela I know I'd assume that her given name was Turanga and not Leela.
