I would like to add that independent Finland has always been republic and before that royalty was not Finnish. It was either Swedish or Russian, and Kusisto/Kuusisto definitely is rather a Finnish than a Swedish or a Russian name. The explanation for the spelling Kusisto could be that these double vowels or consonants don`t exist in English and so the extra u has just fallen into disuse.
I've come to the conclusion that all Americans descend from royalty or nobility. Like Prince Metternich they believe that "humanity begins with barons", European humanity at least.
