Your family had a blonde recessive gene which expressed itself with you. Since you mentioned you mother is of Russian and Ukrainian decent who are well known to commonly have blonde hair it probably came from someone on her side of the family. Dunno what's up with your dad changing colour lol

no, thats common for people in greece, they have like "fake blonde" during childhood then their hair is just naturally getting darker

My brother has hazel eyes and lighter hair but the rest of our family doesn't.

We looked into the family tree and found out that 3-4 generations ago someone else had it then.

It's called a genetic throwback or something because it skips perodically a few branches each time.

You might be like that. I think it's cool.

A friend of mine has vibrant orange hair and big blue eyes, but almost everyone in her family has brown hair and brown eyes, with no one having red hair in memory. I also had a black friend who had one white ancestor like 3 generations back but nothing but black ancestors since, but she had green eyes. Genetics are like that, tho. If it existed at some point in your bloodline (and since you're white [hopefully I'm not being too presumptuous..], blonde hair is almost definitely in there somewhere) then if the stars align just right, you can come out with just about any coloring.

 

To answer your question tho, yes, that does make you somewhat 'rare'
