Hmm, so it sounds like "faccia" in Italian.

William Shakespeare. The first part of the surname «shakes» is very similar to the Persian and Arabic wordشخصی (shahs) /man (face, individual), person/.
Bashkir «шəхес» (shəhes) - personality, subject, individual.

When I was a kid growing up in the upper Midwest of the United States in the early 1980s, "Face!" was also a slang term analogous to the more recent "Burn!". It was often accompanied by a gesture wherein one put a hand up with the palm facing their forehead and the fingers in a forehead-pointing claw position; the hand was then drawn straight down as the exclamation was made.

I hadn't heard this term in years until I saw it sometime back in a How I Met Your Mother episode, which has a strong 1980s-nostalgic vibe to it.

French «surnom» is a nickname.
The first part of the English word "surname" comes from the Estonian word "suur" - big.
Finnish "suuri" - big.
Bashkir "ҙур" (thur) – big, large; "ҙуры" (thuri) –which is bigger.
French "sur" is the highest degree.

Also in Spanish: faz, pl. faces

The second part of the surname "peare" apparently comes from the word "pare".
Pare - to cut off or trim, to clean.

It's shake + speare. As in, to shake a spear, to brandish a spear, a spearman. This name has a transparent English etymology.

It is not shakes + peare .

Maybe. This is the known version.
The English word "shake" comes from the Bashkir (west) word "щайкау» (shaikau)" - to sway, to swing, to nod, to rinse.

Shaking a spear and a spearman are not the same thing.
Shakespeare was the son of John Shakespeare, an alderman and a successful glove-maker.
Aemilia would often pen her pseudonym as 'William Shakes-peare'.

William is a male given name of Germanic origin.
The form William is identified as typical of the Old Norman form Williame, Willame.
The name William is very similar to the Bashkir word "улым" (ulim) - my son, sonny.
Origin of the word «earth»

Chicago.
The name Chicago is derived from the Miami-Illinois word "shikaakwa" for a wild relative of the onion.
The first syllable "shi" of this name is cognate to the English word «acid».
French «acide». Latin «acidus». Spanish «acido».
