    Where is your last name most common?

    Enter your surname and find out

    Seems the highest concentration of my name in the UK is in West Midlands

    Cumbria and North Lancs for me which isn't a surprise as my name appears on a lot of o/s maps and is a geographical feature in that area of the country.

      Australia and Liverpool, it seems.

      My surname is also apparently more common in Luxembourg, per head of population, than it is in my homeland. Which is weird, because not that long ago it was the sixth or seventh most common surname over here.

      On a completely unrelated note, Jesus, did you get my email a few weeks back? If you can't help, then it's no problem at all and don't worry about it.

        What Green Calx said (apart from the PM - I know Jesus can't help me).

                Kind of a dodgy site, data gathering matching exact last name with your email address...

                  I gave them an email address I don't use any more.

                        I gave them a completely made up email address.

                        My name is most common in Belgium by some distance, apparently. This will be highly amusing to sw2boro if no one else.

                            My wife's last name is pretty uncommon. The top country and regions for it are in Japan, but the top cities are LA and a city in Northern California where her family first came to the US, she likely knows of all of the people with the last name in those cities.

                                Birmingham, Leeds, Norwich, city-wise
                                The major English-speaking countries, plus it turns up in India and Argentina. I'm imagining Raj clerks for India and engineers in Argentina

                                    Where is your last name most common?

                                    Canada and New Zealand, with the greatest FPM scores in NZ.

                                    In UK terms Birmingham is where my distant relatives are hiding.

                                    I have a quite unusual surname, so the dataset is likely to be small.

                                      In the World, Gore District on the South Island of New Zealand, which is odd because that's a Scottish colony and my surname hardly shows up in Scotland at all. Must have had one particular distant relative who fathered about twelve sons, or something.

                                          If yours also has spikes in popularity in Armagh and Tyrone, then I'm guessing we have the same surname.

                                            East Midlands and Newfoundland, apparently.

                                            Countries wise, Australia then the UK.

                                              UK closely followed by New Zealand. Then Canada, USA and France. The largest FPM scores by far in New Zealand.

                                              Edinburgh, Perth, Dundee.

                                                "East Angular."

                                                (FPM? Something per million?)

                                                (Though there appears to be a bit of a hotspot for the name in Sheffield.)

                                                  'Norfolk County', UK; Bullock, Alabama; and Hot Spring, Arkansas. Talk about Sticksville. Might have me a road trip some time.
