Find where your last name is most common
Reblogged from attilee
Poland. Huh.
Hmm, using the current version of my last name, I only get one country: The U.S. (main states being UT/WV/NV/ID/IA - in other words, my last name is extremely Caucasian. Don’t tell my Korean cousins.)
However, considering I know that my last name is a slight bastardization, I looked up the original form and (unsurprisingly) found (in top 5 form):
COUNTRIES: U.S., U.K., New Zealand, Ireland, Canada
REGIONS: District of Columbia, U.S. / Wales, U.K. / West Virginia, U.S. / New York, U.S.
CITIES: Cardiff, Wales, U.K. / [unknown], Wales, U.K. / Bristol, South West, U.K. / Exeter, South West, U.K. / Parkersburg, West Virginia, U.S.
Interesting…
