Nationality - is the country where you were born. Citizenship - is 'adopted' nationality. For example, I am British by birthright - I was born in England (as were many generations of my family). If I were to emigrate to Australia, I could apply for citizenship - however - my nationality on any legal documents would still say British.

Citizenship is a legal status that grants individuals certain rights and responsibilities within a specific country, usually obtained through birth, naturalization, or descent. Nationality, on the other hand, refers to the legal attachment and allegiance of an individual to a particular nation or country, which may or may not come with the full rights and privileges of citizenship.
Nationality is determined by a person's country of citizenship or origin, not by their race. A black person's nationality can vary depending on where they are from or where they hold citizenship.
Nationality, allegiance, membership, and belonging.
A nation describes a geographical place that is defined by its borders, whether to neighboring countries or to natural boundaries, and sometimes defined by the difference in the culture and language. Nationality is basically citizenship that is granted to people who are born in a specific nation or are granted citizenship.
There is no direct correlation between a surname like Hock and a specific nationality. Surnames can originate from various regions and cultures, so it is not possible to determine nationality based solely on the surname.
A person can lose their citizenship by voluntarily renouncing it, by committing certain crimes such as treason or espionage, or by acquiring citizenship in another country and actively engaging in activities that are considered detrimental to the country they are a citizen of.
