I dont get how your surname can peak in Italy,Ukraine , Portugal and Cuba :confused:

In Portugal there are probably the ones who couldn't get the detailed ancestry for italian citizenship and emigrated to Lisboa instead, but I don't understand Ukraine and Cuba either.

No records at all for my actual name. But it's very rare and strictly restricted to France anyway.

My mother's name is originally some sort of nickname and has many points of origin, so it's more spread out. Apparently it's not too uncommon in... Paraguay.

I have a Prussian surname (certainly of Slavic origin) because my father is German. My ancestors were from Silesia (today a part of Poland). According to forebears, it's more prevalent in Germany and has the highest density in Germany (the eastern Länder, to be more precise). There's was a more accurate website but I can't find it anymore.
I have a quite famous homonym in Germany (we share the same surname AND first name, but as far as I know, we're not related); he's a screenwriter and author

2nd country: the USA (especially Pennsylvania, big bunch of German settlers there. Besides, I've heard of a colonel teaching at West Point who has the same surname, maybe a distant relative, who knows ?)
3rd: the Netherlands
4th: the Czech Republic
5th; Canada
Then Russia, South Africa, France (we're the only ones:)), Denmark and Austria

Melki

11-09-2016, 12:14 AM

namespedia.com is maybe more accurate than forebears.io

No surprise, according to Namespedia, my name is dominantly distributed in (East) Germany (149 persons registered, especially in Saxony and Thuringia, and also in Saxony-Anhalt)

2nd place: the USA (58 persons) this time Illinois appears to be the state where my surname has the largest distribution and the highest density, followed by Indiana, New York State and Washington State, then Idaho and Pennsylvania, Missouri etc...

The other countries where my surname is to be found are: Denmark, Austria, France (5 persons: me and my family), Switzerland, Norway (only one individual, actually, it's me again. I often work in Norway so I'm registered there too :))

Nahh, I just have a slight amount of Italian ancestry (1/16). Most of my Euro ancestry is Spanish. My first surname is Italian because my grand grandpa (the paternal grandpa of my Venezuelan paternal grandpa) was an Italian immigrant in Venezuela, and his last name was transmitted, all the time, by paternal line, down to me.

No. The name was changed.
And I wouldn't know where to start honestly, my family knows nothing.

Well, I'm no expert, but genealogy can be a lot simpler than it appears. Have you tried FamilySearch?

That's literally the most useful comment in my nearly two year time on here! :D

I just checked their name and found a few people born between 1892-1902 in Romania.

My surname has an affix that makes it unique but I just searched for its more common version and it's only prevalent in Turkey. It also shows some other countries; Turkish immigrants obviously.

Haha, great! Hope you find something. Sometimes information can be from unlikely sources. You might get a birthplace from a death record, a draft registration card (even "old" guys had to register), or the birth record of the person's child. Anything can be useful. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Not becasue of -a, but becasue of diminutive forms, as in 70% of words.

If it would be Prohaga - it wouldn;t be so funny.

Dear sirs and ladies,

I am the proprietor of the site (https://forebears.io/surnames) mentioned in this thread.

It has just been updated, from statistics based on a sample of 1.58 billion people to a sample of 4 billion people; and now contains regional surname maps for about 137 countries; and a total of 26.2 million unique surnames (whereby each Latin character is treated seperatly).

Here is an example of the distribution for the Russofied Armenian diaspora surname, Arakelov in the Federal Subjects of The Russian Federation:

https://image.ibb.co/hnPLhz/Screenshot_at_2018_09_04_02_33_26.png

The things I will be working on next are:

- sub-region surname maps
- average income by surname in several countries
- Democrat-Republican (and other) affiliation - as well as fertility rate by said affiliation
- Distribution maps and the same as above for forenames

These will be up within the current year.

I'm looking for some feedback on what else to prioritse. If you have a few moments you can vote up and suggest ideas here (https://forebears.fider.io/?f=most-wanted).

Lastly, of possible interest to anthropologists I have created a series 'onoregions', which are regions defined by naming custom, partially by lexical analysis, though I need to re-asses this, but it's pretty solid. This of course overlaps to some extent with ethnicity. You can view a list of defined regions here (https://ethercalc.org/t9xfhvmaqnrj). Due to a bug they are currently not visible on the site. But you will be able to see the most common surname in them on pages like this (https://forebears.io/europe/eastern-europe) within 1 day.

N.B. If anyone notices Uzbekistan was accidentally included twice. Re-building the stats now and will be updated within 1 day.

I'm guessing your surname has a diacritic mark (or accent) in it. Surnames are listed by unique character, so Núñez and Nunez are considered separately. So Ozturk (http://forebears/surnames/ozturk) has a global incidence of about 8,000 with none in Turkey and Öztürk (http://forebears/surnames/%C3%B6zt%C3%BCrk) has a global incidence of about 570,000 with only about 10,000 using the diacritic living outside Turkey.

My father's family came from Holland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland). Particularly the Westland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westland_(municipality),_Netherlands) Area. A family of poor landless landfolk, that worked for the rich farmers and, later, laborers until my grandfather made it big and became a civil servant It seems me that their ancestors stuck around one particular area as my great-grandfather moved from the Westland to The Hague (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hague) (that other dark spot along the coast), while his siblings and mother ended up in Rotterdam (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotterdam) (the dark spot just south of it) and the same name is heavily concentrated around that particular area. The same family name was used by a (rather well known) beguine in the same area, Delft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delft) (that dark splotch right in the middle of the area) between 1320 and 1358). She, originally, seems to have come from neighboring Voorburg (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voorburg_(Zuid-Holland)). Historians are still fighting over whether she has anything to do with a famous medieval hymn and whether she took the name from it --- or whether she it took it from the neighboring city gate.

A lot of them also seemed to have been shipped off East to the peat-lands of the "Veenkoloniën" as would have been common with the 19th century poor. In fact: I once met one Canadian woman with my last name who traced her name back to the Veenkoloniën and from there on back to Holland.

It's most prevalent in the United States, Cambodia(?) and England

Long is also a common Cambodian surname (ឡុង (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%E1%9E%A1%E1%9E%BB%E1%9E%84+long&t=h_&ia=videos)). I guess it could be related to the Chinese, Leung.

My last name is so rare that I can't find almost any information about it. It is known that it originated in the Tatar principality, which was under the Polish protectorate. It is interesting that in the historical chronicles I found a man with my surname who was in Tatar captivity. Hetman Mazepa himself petitioned for his release.
