My surname is probably unique and one of a kind as my parents claim. I won't reveal it, and I don't even use it fully unless I need to because it's a bit long and sounds kinda weird as it consists of two different words. Normally, the former one could be a middle name, but I'm forced to specify that it's included in my surname while talking to an operator and such. Though I'm proud it's Turkic, not Arabic, Armenian or Persian-influenced.

Mine is Galician.. veeeery common surname in some countries.

According to forebears.co.uk, it appears to be more common in Portugal (Top 50), Brazil and Cuba/Puerto Rico, followed by Argentina/Chile/Uruguay (not in the Top 100 in any of the countries from the Southern Cone though).

It doesn't even make it to the Top 200 in Mexico, Peru, Spain, Central American countries, etc.

Weirdly enough it is more common in Switzerland than in Spain haha.
