Mountbatten
Mountbatten is the family name adopted by Prince Louis of Battenberg due to rising anti-German sentiment among the British public during World War I; on 14 July 1917 he relinquished his German titles, and assumed the surname Mountbatten for himself and his descendants.
The most well-known of his descendants were his son Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, and his grandson Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh; the descendants of the latter have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.
