I'm not sure if there's an official definition for this kind of surnames, but I guess you can call them 'hybrid surnames' - just like you call 'hybrid word' a word which etymologically has one part derived from one language and another part derived from a different language (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_word).
By the way, what's your surname?
