He looks very Scandinavian. The name Lesnar doesn't sound that Scandinavian, but if you change the spelling and insert an "Å" or "ä" instead it could be.
Minnesota has a very strong Scandinavian background, so that would make sense. He could have some German in there as well.

I will keep this thread open if a proper discussion about the question occurs.
While he is blond and huge, does not mean he isn't American/British ancestry.
German could be a possibility. Scandinavian is possible too.

Lol @ those white supremacy guys trying to link his physique to his ethnic background.
Anyway, yes he looks Scandinavian, but his surname doesn't seem Scandinavian at all, doesn't matter how many dots or circles you place over the vowels.

He's clearly the product of inbreeding by Nordic Gods.

He probably has Scandinavian and German background, but he could have something else as well.
It is commun to have several different countries you can link you ancestors to.
And by the way, there is only one race, the human race.

Im gonna guess German, the reason Im going with it is because growing up in a small town we used to travel to a nearby town to play hockey against there team, the town was originally a German settlement and all the kids on the team where abnormally large for there ages.

Then i wondered what's the ethic ancestors of Brock Lesner?
here are some clues..
1. he's from the state of Minnesota where there are many Germans and Scandinavians (especially Swedish) descendant population.
2. He's skin is so pale and has blond hair even his eyebrows as well. I agree that his nickname "Vanilla Gorilla" suits him well.
*there were some threads regarding his ethnicity from some white supremacy forums during my quick research on google which by the way wasnt that useful at all then i wanted find out his REAL ethnicity.
I'm guessing either German or Swedish

Here's some Scandinavian input on the name Lesnar, and all I can come up with Is this.
"Le" means "Laugh" In Norwegian and "Snar" means "Quick" in Swedish.
Brock LaughQuick.. doesnt quite have the same ring to It.
Or you could add Lesn(ø)r instead of the A and It would be "Le Snow"
