Adverbs as surnames - around the world

First example that came to my mind is Heiko Herrlich, a former German soccer player and now coach. Note that “herrlich” is both the adjective and adverbial form, it means magnificent or magnificently. Another German surname of that kind that comes to mind is “Fröhlich”, meaning happy/happily. I’m sure there are much more examples in German, but my mind is a bit lazy today because it’s the hottest day of the summer so far here in Germany.

Then we’ll have to secretly give your brain a Heimlich maneuver…

Note to those unfamiliar with German. Heimlich means “secretly”.
