Origin vs heritage

Which is natural? What would be the question to these answers?

I’m of German and Italian origin(s).

I’m of German and Italian heritage.



Is it correct to say « be of » or « have »?

I have German and Italian origins/heritage.

Thanks

Which is natural? Neither heritage nor origins is common in everyday English. You might hear people say eg Q - Where is your family from?
