If you think someone having a Slavic last name means their gender necessarily matches the gender suggested by the form of their name, you are just mistaken.

I have a Slavic last name. I also have female relatives whose last name is, quite officially, the male-suffixed version of mine. I invite you to guess how that might have happened.
