That's why Vito Corleone was called Corleone,
because that's where he came from.
There's a famous scene in The Godfather that shows
the orphaned Vito arriving at Ellis Island as a child and the immigration
officer mistaking the town he came from for his family name, thus he ended up
being called Corleone.
This was actually a fairly common experience for
immigrants who arrived at about the turn of the century. Their names were either
incorrectly recorded or else they changed them as part of starting a new life in
America.
