You have to keep in mind that the data collected regarding the number of most common surnames and current population doesn’t always correlate 100%, although they are almost always similar.
For Ukraine, I used population data from 2021.
A bit surprising since france has the most unique surnames
Portugal was always one kingdom, so it was kind of easy. I guess Spain just came to be dominated by the Castilan portion. Either way, they both started as smaller kingdoms in the north.
Do you have the data for Vietnam?
Italy seems to chose unique names. But trust me they are mostly abbreviated the same: “Ale”
Danish top 10:
Nielsen (222.355)
Jensen (218.886)
Hansen (186.105)
Andersen (143.880)
Pedersen (140.838)
Christensen (106.860)
Larsen (102.287)
Sørensen (97.587)
Rasmussen (84.147)
Jørgensen (78.057)
Never knew this is something I wanted to know, but so interesting!
In Korea the needle in a haystack is said as: looking for (Mr/Mrs) Kim in Seoul.
South Korea 64% 🇰🇷
How is this counted for Iceland? Some people do have surnames but that is a distinct minority. The rest has patronyms so I sincerily doubt the number is this high, especially given that the female and male forms are different.
The info for Croatia on forebears.io does not align with other sources at all. Croatia should be at around 2.6% according to the sources on Wikipedia.
I am willing to bet 1k on aivanov being the most common surname in Bulgaria
Portugal is wrong – just check. It should be 45,66% [https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_dos_cem_apelidos_mais_frequentes_em_Portugal](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_dos_cem_apelidos_mais_frequentes_em_Portugal)
Why is that so high for Denmark? Was the conversion from patronymics to surnames too recent?
