They are German, so why not. The original name is Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, taken when Queen Victoria married a German prince, but she was herself from a German line, descending from George I who had become the king of Great Britain and Ireland 1714 when they didn't have a British heir, and he was the second cousin of Queen Anne.
