Why not? Chow is Thai for "Horse" - and Kat translates as "to clean" or "to scrub/polish". Her family was probably in farming long ago when surnames became the thing. To play this game with standard 'Murican translations, your name is "Toilet little-man" - do we really want to go there?

I know I don't. My last name translates as "Hoe" or a person that uses a hoe... I know I don't wanna play the name game!! :D
