    Very unique, only found in Lakonia and in Kefalonia, where a branch of my family migrated during the 18th century.

    Mine is not very common, but is not rare either.

    Interestingly, my first surname is Italian but its highest prevalence is in Brazil (though is not common in there either), and has its highest density in Venezuela (not common in there either).

    My maternal surname is very rare.

    Typical Sardinian surname ending with U, not very common in Sardinia, it can be found only in specific areas of Sardinia

    Not common but not exactly what one could consider ''rare''. Circa 1000 people in Poland share it.
