What's the most common surname in your country?

Smith and Jones, then Miller and Wilson. Garcia, Yang, and many others since we are such a mix of peoples.

My last name is not common but people upon hearing my name would say "ang yaman mo pala" or would comment if i own a particular subdivision . Sounds flattering really but i just wish it's true.

Do you really want me to go there? I live in the U.S.A. The big giant melting pot of the world. There would be a list a mile long of surnames.

hi totallyundecided I am from the US and live in California. the most common surnames, Smith, Jones,Clark, Brown, Johnson,Peterson, we are the melting pot of the world.My maiden name is horribly common , Clark and I found out that it can get really messed up when doing genealogy on my Clark family as so many people here in the US are looking for their Clark ancestors too and a lot of them come up with some of the given names of myown Clark family.For ex I was looking for thomas c clark and I think one hundred or more people were looking for their gr grandfather t homas C clark too.,But just three actually did have my Thomas C clark as a relative too. then I found I have cousins I did not know I had, so much fun really finding all my real cousins. The surname of my husband Garland Hatley is more common than you would expect., there are singing groups, bands, other organizations with the last name Hatley and none are related. but go to washington State and in a few miles there are all the kin of my deceased Husband. lol

I have to agree with you because these last names are also common here in Manila. Well, after all, we're from the same country. ehehe

Well in a country like india i cant really name one surname. India is a country where there are so many religions and many surnames...like kumar, singh, patel, dsouza, khan etc.

oh, hello Kabayan.:) I am from Aklan, a province with less populace compared to other provinces.My surname is quite familiar in our town because maybe other members of my family are politicians there and my elders earned our towns mate respects. But given they are not politicians or not too popular, i'd say my surname is not common. It has a spanish origin and it sounds spanish, too. We are only few in our town or province with that surname.:)

Hiya TD, Most common Surnames in this Country for example are Gonzalez, Perez, Lopez, Rodriguez and Munoz actually that one sounds like this Munyoz but I can´t put that in here as you already know. Rodriguez has an accent on the I but not in English. Those are the most common Surnames there are many others but you could fill a whole Library with them.

Hey I am belongs for India. And here many religions of peoples lived. So it is very difficult to say that which groups peoples are mostly. I think only India is a country in whole worlds where all religions peoples lived. So I can't say that what is the mostly common surname used in India. And which surname peoples lived mostly here.

the most common name in my country is cruz,and santos.i dont know why many of us got spanish name while many countries invaded philippines before so must be different types of surname.

I'm from China and live in Shanghai. In China, the most common surnames are: Zhao, Li, Wang, Zhang, Liu, Chen…… Sometimes the spelling of them are different in Taiwan, Hongkong and China mainland. For example, Cai is spelled as "Tsai" in Taiwan, and Zhang is "Chang" in Hongkong. China is a country with a long history of ancient civilization. Theoretically speaking every surname has its source. The history and reality of 643 Chinese surnames can be found i the comprehensive family tree. We can get surnames's source, history and route of acivities of our ancestor in "A collection Surname", that Chinese called "Bai Jia Xing".

In my place we could identify the origin of a person by his surname. In one municipality all that live there has a surname that begins with letter F, in another, all of them begins with letter R and in the other all begins with letter M. Maybe that was really intended when our place was invaded by Spaniards.
