In the past, when a person moved to another country, it was common for that person to change their name to one that country would find "normal" (or have it changed for them). The reasons for doing this were numerous; they could want to "blend in" better, they may want to avoid discrimination, or they may want to symbolize a complete break from their past (especially if they're on the run for something they did back in the old country). At other times, the name change can be forced on them by an overworked immigration official (although in reality this is something of a Dead Unicorn Trope, or at least the immigration officials who did this have been Misblamed; when this did happen, it was usually the result of officials copying misspelled names from the shipping companies' passenger manifests). Although less common today (although on occasion even today someone may change their first name), this was once very much Truth in Television. Still common in fiction that takes place in these time periods.
The six most common types of name changes were:
Approximation: The name is changed to something similar, so "Horwitz" becomes "Howard".
Changed Spelling: The name is respelled, so "Schneider" becomes "Snyder" or "Svensson" becomes "Swenson" or "Swanson".
Translation: If the name has a specific meaning, it might be translated, so "Schneider" becomes "Tailor" or "Schmidt" becomes "Smith".
Truncated: The name is shortened, so "Stephanopolous" becomes "Stevens" or "O'Riordan" becomes "Reardon".
A mash-up of things said to the official. For example, a guy is named Han, but says that he has no last name because he has no family, he is alone... and the official registers him as "Han Solo". In most cases it is Played for Laughs.
Clerical Error: An official might misspell a name, or confuse the information given to them so that (for example) an immigrant's hometown becomes their new last name.
Random Name Change: A new name is more-or-less picked at random, with little or no resemblance to the original name.
The name change doesn't necessarily have to happen the moment someone arrives in a country; the name change might happen even if a family's been in a country for generations if circumstances occur such as a wave of Patriotic Fervor is sweeping the nation, or if the country they live in is at war with the country their last name sounds like it's from (such as having a German-sounding last name in America during WWI).
Sometimes, the name will be changed more than once, so the name "Rothstein" might get changed to "Roth", and then "Roth" might then get changed to "Ross".
When a character translates their name to use as an alias, it's This Is My Name on Foreign. Compare Dub Name Change, where the character's name is changed due to Real Life choices, not In-Universe ones.

Sally Jupiter, the first Silk Spectre, from Watchmen changed her name from "Juspeczyk" so people wouldn't know she was Polish. Her daughter Laurie went the opposite route and changed her surname back to "Juspeczyk," both to take pride in her Polish heritage and so that people wouldn't automatically associate her with her mother.

Dimension 20: The "Misfits and Magic" campaign is set at an isolationist wizarding boarding school in England, so culture clash comes up a lot. One of the main characters' classmates, Cleopatra St. Oppolie, explains that she changed her name because no one at school could be bothered to learn how to pronounce her given name. To add insult to injury, she doesn't even like the name "Cleopatra," and only puts up with it in order to fit in with wizarding culture. The gang is appalled, and ask what she'd rather they call her. Having bonded with them a bit over feeling like outsiders and seeing they're sincere, she asks them to call her by her real name: Khanh Nguyen.

In Local Hero, the top CEO at an American oil company wants to send an employee named MacIntyre to Scotland to negotiate the purchase of a small Scottish village on the basis of his surname; he even tells MacIntyre that for him, going to Scotland must be like going home. MacIntyre later tells a coworker that he's not really Scottish; his parents were Hungarian, and they changed their names because they thought MacIntyre was a more American-sounding name.

Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego: In the episode where Sir Vile steals the Statue of Liberty from New York in the year 1886, Kevin Shinick and the Time Pilots receive a visit from an Ellis Island official from c. 1901. She renames Shinick "Shin", and she goes on to explain that immigrants often change their surnames to fit in better with American society. For example, a man named Rabinovich changed his name to "Robbins". Sir Vile, however, inverted this trope by opting to make his name sound more foreign: Sir Vile-owitzovitchonavestannenburg.

House: It's revealed that a patient changed his name from "Jamal Hammoud" to "Jerry Harmon" after the Gulf War. House actually figures this out before the patient tells him, because his disease is most common in people of Eastern-Mediterranean descent. But because he doesn't know which specific country, he throws out some guesses to his birth surname, like Hasarian, Herzog, and "Halibaba".

The Simpsons:
Played for Laughs in the episode "Bart-Mangled Banner". After relocating to France, the Simpsons become homesick and travel back to America. When Homer states their family name to an official, the man changes it to "Simps". To really drive the point home, they arrived in New York by boat and were dressed in nineteenth century European clothes while "Coming to America" plays in the background.
Also parodied in "In the Name of the Grandfather", where Americans who are sick of America go to Ireland's "MacEllis Island" and have their names changed to stereotypical Irish names.

Alien Nation. The Newcomers were given Earth names when they arrived. Eventually, immigration officials got bored and decided to have fun with the names; many were named after famous humans (such as Rudyard Kipling, Albert Einstein, or Humphrey Bogart), others were given Punny Names (including Sam Francisco, Harley Davidson, Dallas Fort-Worth, Kenny Bunkport, Paul Bearer, and Norman Conquest). Sam Francisco is actually one of the lead characters; his human partner finds the pun so repulsive he insists on calling him George.

Both Superman and Supergirl are Kryptonians. Superman's birth name is "Kal-El" but he was raised as "Clark" by his human family. Pre-Crisis Supergirl used "Linda Danvers" as her Secret Identity but more modern depictions typically avert this trope and have her use her name, Kara, instead.

Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night:
For Reisen Udongein Inaba, 鈴仙 (rei sen) is a naturalised Japanese spelling of the name she had on the moon, while Udongein and Inaba are "Earth-style names" given to her by Eirin and Kaguya respectively (though "Inaba" is conspicuously spelled phonetically as イナ�, rather than using the spelling of the 因幡 province as with Tewi's surname). As the original spelling is still used occasionally by moon-dwelling characters (one of whom is even named after her), fans sometimes transcribe it as things like "Raysen" to make the distinction more clear.
It's also confirmed that �夜 is not the spelling of Kaguya's name that the princess used while living on the moon, but one that was given to her by her adoptive parents in the events of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Unlike Reisen, this rarely ever comes up.
Touhou Bougetsushou reveals that some Lunarians, including Eirin and the Chinese goddess Chang'e, have true names which can only be pronounced by the spiritually untainted, requiring them to adopt pseudonyms for use with Earthlings (though "Yagokoro" is still Eirin's original surname). This is part of the evidence that Eirin is actually Omoikane.

In Feet of Clay, it's briefly mentioned that Cheery Littlebottom's surname in Dwarfish is actually "Sh'rt'azs". Presumably, the same goes for other Morporkian dwarf names.

In Final Fantasy XIV, the Hellsguard Roegadyn immigrated from their mountain homes to the city-states of Eorzea to find work for their Proud Warrior Race as mercenaries. Because the natives of the realm had a poor grasp of the Roegadyn language, they took to translating the meaning of their names into the common language. The tradition continues to this day, even after the Hellsguard had fully integrated into society. So while the Sea Wolf Roegadyn still use names of their native language like "Merlwyb" and "Wyrnzoen", Hellsguard have names like "Broken Mountain" and "Yellow Moon".

Parasite (2019) has a variation in that while every character is Korean, go by Korean names, and the story never leaves Seoul, three characters also take on Westernized names — Truth in Television as it's not uncommon for East Asians who want to make it big to do this in order to make connections in the West. The patriarch of the rich Parks, Dong-ik, is a top guy in his architectural firm and English-language articles framed around the house name him Nathan Park; the two adult children of the poor Kims, Ki-Woo and Ki-jeong, use the names Kevin and Jessica as part of their made-up persona of having studied in the United States in order to impress the Super Gullible Mrs. Park into hiring them.

Touhou – ZUN's Music Collection: Maribel Hearn is named after Lafcadio Hearn (see the Real Life section below), whose naturalised Japanese name Yakumo Koizumi is also the namesake of major character Yukari Yakumo. While ZUN is evasive on their exact connection, the two characters bear a heavy resemblance (both in appearance and abilities), and it's confirmed that Yukari has been known by other names in the past, strongly implying that Maribel's stories are a stealth Origins Episode.

Shows up a few times in James Clavell's Asian Saga:
In Shogun, ship's pilot Blackthorne is given the name "Anjin" (meaning "Pilot" in Japanese) because the Japanese have difficulty pronouncing "Blackthorne" (the Japanese specifically point out that it is not meant as an insult); meanwhile Japanese Christians are given Christian names when they covert.
In Gai-Jin a Frenchman living in Japan is called "Furansu-san" for the same reason as Blackthorne.
In Noble House American businesswoman K.C. Tcholok mentions that her last name was shortened from "Tcholokian" by her Armenian grandparents. K.C. also goes by the more Anglo-sounding "Casey" (derived from her initials) than her birth-names Kamalian Ciranoush.

In Top 10, Jeff Smax was raised as Jaafs Macksun, which was itself a naturalized name, since his biological parents never actually named him or his sister. When he left his homeworld and moved to Neopolis, he changed his name so that nobody would know where he came from, as he is deeply embarrassed about coming from a "backwoods" dimension.

The father of Icelandic singer Emilíana Torrini (of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers fame), an Italian man named Salvatore Torrini, was forced to change his name to "Davíð Eiríksson" upon immigration to Iceland due to the country's strict naming laws. This meant as well that his daughter was named at birth "Emilíana Davíðsdóttir" to comply with the Patronymic system. Upon a reform of the naming laws in 1991, father and daughter were allowed to retake their Italian surname.

Touhou Project: While a number of the series's cast fall under I Have Many Names, explicitly naturalised names mostly come up in two contexts:
Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night:
For Reisen Udongein Inaba, 鈴仙 (rei sen) is a naturalised Japanese spelling of the name she had on the moon, while Udongein and Inaba are "Earth-style names" given to her by Eirin and Kaguya respectively (though "Inaba" is conspicuously spelled phonetically as イナ�, rather than using the spelling of the 因幡 province as with Tewi's surname). As the original spelling is still used occasionally by moon-dwelling characters (one of whom is even named after her), fans sometimes transcribe it as things like "Raysen" to make the distinction more clear.
It's also confirmed that �夜 is not the spelling of Kaguya's name that the princess used while living on the moon, but one that was given to her by her adoptive parents in the events of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Unlike Reisen, this rarely ever comes up.
Touhou Bougetsushou reveals that some Lunarians, including Eirin and the Chinese goddess Chang'e, have true names which can only be pronounced by the spiritually untainted, requiring them to adopt pseudonyms for use with Earthlings (though "Yagokoro" is still Eirin's original surname). This is part of the evidence that Eirin is actually Omoikane.
Touhou – ZUN's Music Collection: Maribel Hearn is named after Lafcadio Hearn (see the Real Life section below), whose naturalised Japanese name Yakumo Koizumi is also the namesake of major character Yukari Yakumo. While ZUN is evasive on their exact connection, the two characters bear a heavy resemblance (both in appearance and abilities), and it's confirmed that Yukari has been known by other names in the past, strongly implying that Maribel's stories are a stealth Origins Episode.

In The Punisher, it was established very early that Frank Castle's original surname was "Castiglione" — his Italian immigrant parents changed it when he was a child for whatever reason. By happy coincidence, "castigare" is a latin word for "punishment", though in a disciplinary sense. You won't get much moral improvement out of Frank's victims.

Superman
Both Superman and Supergirl are Kryptonians. Superman's birth name is "Kal-El" but he was raised as "Clark" by his human family. Pre-Crisis Supergirl used "Linda Danvers" as her Secret Identity but more modern depictions typically avert this trope and have her use her name, Kara, instead.
In Just Imagine: Superman, the alien Salden adopts the name Clark Kent after becoming stranded on Earth.
Superman Smashes the Klan: Chinese-American Roberta Lee's Chinese name is Lan-Shin, in keeping with the Superman supporting cast's Theme Initials of LL. At the end of the story, she starts going by Lan-Shin again at Lois's suggestion.

In the Friends episode "The One with the Fake Monica", Joey Tribbiani decides to change his name to something less ethnic. Chandler jokingly suggests "Joseph Stalin". Being The Ditz, Joey doesn't know how infamous this name is and tries to use it. Apparently he doesn't learn from this, as the episode's Stinger is of Joey going onstage and introducing himself as "Holden McGroin".

Cold Case: Scott Valens. His family name is a shortened version of Valensuela.
One Villain of the Week was a Puerto Rican Dirty Cop with the last name Martin (shortened Martinez). Another Villain of the Week was from a Jewish family who changed their name from Weissman to Whitman so they could rise in high society.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Ensign Ro", Ro Laren explains that some Bajorans switch their name order to the Anglosphere's given name-then-surname when dealing with offworlders. She very pointedly prefers to be addressed in the Bajoran style, however.
