Just For Fun

How common is your last name?….just for fun.

Posted by beachyerin on

I came across an article on “Newsday” about the commonality of last names according to the most recent census in 2010. The Census says that about 6.3 million surnames were recorded (according to Newsday), with about 62% of them recorded just once.

I thought these statistics were pretty interesting.

                                                                               Moehl

                 ….. And Hevezi. No results were found because fewer than 100 people reported their last name as Hevezi for the 2010 Census.

    So…everyone with Hevezi would be a relative with the name Hevezi if there were less than 100 in the census. I’m glad I kept it as a middle name.
