Bill Clinton is said to Have Gypsy Blood; Association of Gypsies/Romani International; American President Bill Clinton is said to have Gypsy blood; his biological father, William Blythe, may have been one of the Blythe clan, a Roma family from the Scottish borders. [NOTE: the original link I found this at is no longer available]. However, I found a new one! Bill Clinton is a Blythe

Apparently at least some of the gypsies have disowned him:

Bill Clinton no Rom

Pretty bad when even the Rom don't want to own you . . .

BTW, Blyth or Blythe is a pretty common Borders name, since it is a descriptive adjective and could have become anybody's surname. Now, if he had been a Faa, that name's uncommon enough that I'd believe there was probably a connection. There's an old ballad about "The Death of Johnny Faa" that I used to sing. He ran off with the Earl of Cassilis's lady and got hanged for it in 1624.
