The most common surname in every country

[Chaos One]

Kim is definitely not a Kazakh surname, or Uzbek. That's a Korean surname and it's true, most Koreans I met in Central Asia are called Kim, so many that's why is so high maybe but def. not Kazakh.

Probably because Kazakhs and Uzbeks do have a huge range of surnames (basically any Muslim name with an "ev/ov" or even a common Russian one), while all Koryo-Saram are Kim.

SMITH, SMITH, SMITH, OTHER SMITH AND ONLY IRELAND WITH MURTHY.

Kovác or Kovács means smith, horváth surname means croat.

yeah. I misred as Horvath lol

[Jana]

It is reverse - Hungarian lastname (and occupation term) Kovács has a Slavic origin. It is one of Slavic loanwords in Hugarian language

It's Slavic, but not necessarily Slovak. Just like Horvat. Origin of word does not mean it's native there. To me it seems large input of Hungarian surnames into Slovak nation?

Yes, Kazakhs have so many surnames that I can't even think of two people having the same one. It mostly runs into the family. Kazakhs have turkic surnames, while uzbeks have mixed surnames, some turkic, some Persian. Even their given names are persian/muslim sometimes. You can't find that in Kazakhstan.

My Colombian mother's maiden surname is Rodriguez. Plus my father's surname is the most common in Wales: Jones.

Majority of Central Asians have Muslim or partly Muslim related/Arabic names for their first name/given name. I would say equal to the amount of 'pure' turkic names not counting names which are mixed between arabic/muslim and turkic words (last names is different ratio)
Persian names are non-existent outside of Uzbekistan except for maybe Rustam/Rostam or Almas/Almaz which a couple kazakhs/tatars have
but a lot of Islamic names

In Turkey; while many people have Arab/Semitic names because of Islam; almost all surnames are Turkish or Turkic. If you've not noticed; Arabs do not have 'surnames' or 'last names', their father's names are accepted as surnames mostly (like Abdullah bin Muhammad, which means Abdullah son of Muhammad). (I'm not an expert on this so an Arab can correct me if I'm wrong.)

This was also the case in the Ottoman Empire. People used to be distinguished and classified by their father's names. Atatürk introduced the Surname Law in 1934. And that's how he received the name 'Atatürk' anyway. All Turkish citizens were obliged to select from a group of new surnames that were created by the government. These surnames were Turkish or Turkic in origin without any Islamic or Arab connotations.

That's why Turkish people do not have Arabic/Islamic surnames. Many Turks also tend to give their children non-Islamic names. I consider myself lucky in this case.

This is not the case in kazakhstan as I said before. They do not use arabic names or if there are, that's def. very rare. Their given names are turkic. They all sound like Nurlan, Bolat, Azamat, Alybek, Aruzhan, Kambar, Djanibek...etc. I can't think right now of any muslim/arabic name in Kazakhstan really.

Even of these names you've listed, they are part arabic...
Nur of Nurlan is arabic
Azamat is arabic

I think you first should understand the origin of words, to then see if a name that comes from a word is from which language. There are many of these words which are of Arabic sometimes Persian origin in Central Asia
