from SBS Japanese - SBSの日本語放送

Most early migrants to Australia had their names mangled by clerks who wrote them down as they heard them. When a man named Rikinosuke arrived in Melbourne from Japan in 1873, his name was recorded on Australian documents as “Dicinoski.” Gavin Dicinoski, who lives on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, grew up believing his surname was Polish — until one day he discovered it actually traced back to a Japanese man. This story was first published in April 2023. - クイーンズランド州サンシャインコースト在住のガビン・ディキノスキーさんは、若い時は自身の名字はポーランドから来たものだと思っていました。しかし、ある日、それが日本人のものだと知りました。2023年4月放送。
