There were around 6.3 million different surnames, also known as family names or last names, reported in the 2010 U.S. census, and there are millions more worldwide. Some, of course, are more popular than others: More than 106 million people have the last name Wang (a Mandarin term for “prince” or “king”), making it the most common surname in the world. And if you live in the U.S., there’s a pretty good chance you know someone with the last name Smith, Johnson, Williams, Brown, or Jones — the five most common surnames in the country.
When Did People Start Using Last Names?

and We're Caught Off-Guard, When We Discover, They Don't.

Here's A Really Stupid One And It Came From My 2nd Ex-wife.
She' d Said Something & I Replied, "That's The Truth, Just As The Sun
Always Rises In The East And Set's In The West:... Then She Said, And I Sh*t You Not:
"Sometimes It Does, But Not Every Day"..~~ OMG "Stupidity Standing Vertically & On Two Leg"s.

Thanks Doug, But Mike Had Had 2 Massive Heart Attacks,
He Was 5'10" And Weighed In Around 220 Lbs. When He Had Them.
After The Attacks, He Was In & Out Of The Hospital, Rehab, Convalescence,
And Even Got To The Point He Couldn't Even Stand On His Feet And His Weight Dropped To 135 Pounds. I Know He Preferred Death Over The Way He Was Living ~ He Told Me So. ~ Karen,His Wife Of 53 Years, Is Of Course Is Having One Hell Of A Time Having Had To Go Through All This With Him, And I'm Sure It's Somewhat A Relief For Her As Well.; She's Absolutely Exhausted... Thanks Guy, I Really Appreciate Your Message. ~ Rick,
