The family's original name is not Windsor. It's Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. They took the name Windsor after, I believe Windsor Castle, during the First World War to distance themselves from their German ancestry. In fact, George V, who had the name changed, was the first cousin of Kaiser Wilhelm II. George V's wife, Queen Mary, was also a descendant of the Royal House of Württemberg.
