    What is interesting in Wales is they don't have the variety of surnames in Ireland or Scotland. Jones today is very common in all Anglosphere countries.
    Jones is the 2nd or 3rd most common surname in the English-speaking world, because it's Anglo-Welsh. Welsh people have hardly colonised the rest of the Anglosphere enough for it to be so common.

    In Australia Jones is the 2nd most common name, and yet Welsh ancestry is relatively small here, even less than Cornish; only 0.5% of Australians claim Welsh ancestry.
