It can go all the way down to the county level, which is kinda crazy.

31,493 people have my surname.

And I will fight them all*

Mine shows about 6,100 people with my surname, putting it around the 73,000th most common on their list.

(The one people typically mistake for mine has over 103,000 occurrences; the difference of two orders of magnitude does a good job of illustrating why it’s such a common error.)

mine is a transliteration of an english word and, because of a weird linguistic quirk, germans also transliterate it the same way. so there are more germans with my surname but we’re much more densely distributed in Aotearoa

mine’s most common in ukraine and argentina, of all places, though interestingly the latter is because of a influx of polish jews moving there after the war. there’s a semi-famous rabbi there with my name. which honestly makes me wonder if i have more of a genealogical connection to judaism than i thought…

My surname is most common in the United States and most densely found in the Norfolk Islands which is weird because I have a common Ashkenazi Jewish last name.

Mine is anglicized German and according to this thing only 214 people worldwide share it.
