Yes there is proof. There are actually documented interviews of former slaves that mention this. For example the surname Freeman or Freedman became popular among emancipated slaves.

My maternal great-grandmother became a member of the Moorish Science Temple in the 20s-30s, so she hyphenated her name (Williams) with Bey (some other moors may use El)

I'm changing my name bit it won't be African because I'm too distant from their culture.
We are our own tribe now! It's impossible to know with great accuracy our history so it's pointless to possibly erroneously imitate what we don't know.
I will create my name which will be African and African American influenced. Unique because black Americans are unique.

my last name Campbell it started from Ireland 
Scottish: nickname from Gaelic cam ‘crooked’, ‘bent’ + beul ‘mouth’. The surname was often represented in Latin documents as de bello campo ‘of the fair field’, which led to the name sometimes being ‘translated’ into Anglo-Norman French as Beauchamp. In New England documents, Campbell sometimes occurs as a representation of the French name Hamel

Also names based around there occupation. For instance a Blacksmith would use the name Smith. Also Painter,Sheperd. are common.
For a very long time it was illegal for any black person under slavery to inherit the name of a white person ever, in fact, most slaves didn't have formal last names at all, but by associating their denomination with the plantation they were bound to, it was one of the very few ways most enslaved blacks had of being able to connect with or identify their families or lineages upon being separated. And on top of that a lot of slaves upon being freed with no name of their own simply chose romanized last names to identify themselves by as a way of assimilating into their new culture and environment. There are a lot more factors as to why blacks in the diaspora have the names they do aside from "slave master last names"
