How unique is surnames in your home country?

[Hana Song]

Mine is Lee and it's one of the more common surnames in the country, so it's not very unique and I feel it's a bit bland and boring with so many people who have the same surnames.
Some places on earth have a far more variety in surnames so I would want to know how unique surnames are in different countries

Which are the most common names in your countries? Please specify the country and the name.

[Nanaboostme]

Smith. There's no way you do not know one where I live.

[Emageht Tsoluoy]

Mine is Lee

Is your first name Vea?

[Masark]

Mine is quite uncommon, as the origin of it is a screw up in US immigration last century.

[Zazajin]

Mine is fairly rare. Prigmore.

The most common surnames in my country;the UK are Smith, Jones and Williams, going from first to last.

[Baracuda]

Extremely rare. Like: it would be too easy to find me if I wrote it here rare. Ironically it's the only one of my surnames I don't have blood relations to since my dad's stepfather formally adopted him.

[Emageht Tsoluoy]

No, it's romanized as ji-eun

i miss Vea Lea

[Calfredd]

My surname is Blizzard.

Mine is very unique globally. Unfortunately I do not wish to submit that information to the masses. But as far as I have found, my father is the eldest with this name. And he, my brother and I are the last remaining males in the world with our name.

I always suspect, that threads like this are exactly for that. Fishing for peoples personal information, to be used for whatever purposes.

If you meet some one with my Surname, they are related to me.

[McCulloch]

U.S. and I don't want to specify it as it's so rare that you can find my face on a Google search of my last name. I would venture to say there are less than 80 of us in the entire country/world and we're all related, albeit distantly.

I asked about how unique names are
Don't want to know their personal surnames but it's ok to say how rare or common it is

That's pretty cool

[Sengiratolom]

According to a search i did last year, i am the only person in this country with my surname. (Parents divorced shortly after my birth, i have my fathers surname, but ended up moving to my mothers country of birth at the age of 9).

I know the feeling. There are a few more, but only 1 of us has produced a son to carry the name. Told my daughter to keep her name if she gets married, my sister did the same.

Its an odd feeling, being one of the last of a family line.

Thanks! Sadly there are only a few males left of breeding age, need to get some sons pumped out.

The most common surnames in my country, in this order, are Smith, Johnson, Williams, and Jones. My last name is not one of these.

[Dread Pirate Phayde]

Compared to some, mine is unheard of, I think when I put it into my old companies database there were like 10 people, compared to the Andersons, Smiths, Garcias, Lopezs, etc. Its my understanding that it might have been shortened when my ancestors came to America.

[Dezerte]

0,004% of the Swedish population has my surname.

[Revi]

Both my middle name (mothers side) and last name (fathers side) are unique to those families, less than a total of 100 people with any of them.

Pretty strange tbh, never met anyone who's heard of either of them before.

Totally. I likely will not be having children (you can all thank me later) So I am really hoping my brother decides to. Otherwise, our family name will be lost forever.
