Correct... well it was named after the 'House of Bourbon' royal family.

Kings and Queens don't have last names like me or you.
The royal family they come from have a name, like Hapsburg or Battenberg or Windsor.
Elizabeth II of Great Britain is the head of the Royal House of Windsor, but she is not "Betty Windsor" to 'er snooker mates dow' at the pub.
They did stick "Windsor" on Prince Andrew's uniform when he served in the UK's military.
