      „Popular“ makes it sound like these are chosen. I think „Common“ would have made a better title.

      It’s funny, I’ve lived in southern New England for 46 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever personally known or even met a Smith.

      Total curiosity but why do people/ posters like to use the word “popular” when it is simply the most common.

      Popularity involves a choice. Something selected at will. No one wakes up and selects their surname off Amazon.

      Growing up in Los Angeles, there were 6 pages of Smiths in the phone book. None of my friends could ever fine my number if they forgot it.

      Johnson can also be Norwegian, particularly in the dakotas and Minnesota. I have 2 ancestors who were Johnson’s from Norway.

      A bunch of the Johnsons in the Upper Midwest are *not* English/Scottish: they’re Scandinavian, and their surnames were Anglicized from names like Jonsson or Johansen.

      Williams is a very common name for black Americans, which probably explains Louisiana (although I don’t know why it wouldn’t also include Mississippi, which has a slightly higher percentage of blacks than LA does).

      Sorry but I’m a hater of common ass surnames. I feel like the whole point of a name is to be an identifier, and having a bajillion people with the same name defeats the purpose. Pisses me off. I know it’s one of those things you can’t really help until you’re old enough that it’s already well established and hard to change, but come ON.

      Arizonan here, expressing doubt that Garcia or Martinez isn’t also at the top here.
