    Very uncommon even in Italy the first one (only in Lombardia, specially Milano, Cremona and Pavia). The second one is...somewhat uncommon in Brazil, but it seems more common at other countries (but not that much).

    My maiden name is relatively uncommon. Very famous though. My married name is super common and much easier for most Americans to pronounce so I chose it instead lol

    My name is Haufe, and it is slightly less common in Germany.

    In Iraq it's quite rare, I believe we were the only Christian familes with our surname in our city

    Uncommon only appears in Greece. Non existent in New World.
    “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Eph. 6:12

    Definition of untrustworthy and loose character are those that don't believe in God.

    It's extremely rare, it's a double barrelled family name made up of one classic yet uncommon surname, and another which by itself is already very rare. Whilst both of the paternal lines that compose that name can be traced back centuries, only my close family members have it double barrelled, and for these reasons I'm fiercely protective of our name.
