On June 19, 1917, the British Royal Family, which has had strong German ties since George I, renounced its German names and titles and adopted the name of Windsor. An excerpt from the article:
"The House of Windsor came into being in 1917, when the name was adopted as the British Royal Family's official name by a proclamation of King George V, replacing the historic name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It remains the family name of the current Royal Family."
