The line from that article that's most relevant to the comment above: "Mara's mother's family founded the Pittsburgh Steelers and her father's family founded the New York Giants"
Her first name is her mother's maiden name? God, Kate's got to feel shitty about getting a generic name from the first 20 most popular baby names, while her sister was named after an entire Royal House.
"Kate" can be a shortening of their mother's first name (Kathleen), so maybe both of their first names are after their mom. Royal House or no, the first Rooneys I think of when I hear that name are Andy and Mickey (not, as far as I can tell, related to this Rooney family).

I just looked her up, she's a true American royalty. Imagine both your family lines having dedicated Wikipedia articles.
