Mulberry
I am curious about the origins of this last name. What is its ethnicity? Has anyone heard it used before, or know what region it stems from?

Mulberry is also a variant of the English name Mowbray which is from the placename Montbray in France. You'll find more information on this at tinyurl.com/y986ug3o.
There's an Irish surname Ó Maoilbhearraigh which has been Englished as Mulberry and possibly Marlborough.
As the Irish language became less widely spoken and held in low esteem many Irish names were dropped and replaced by English or English looking names.
