Table of
First thousand most
numerous surnames in United States
The following is a list of the most frequent surnames in the United States. The list is in order of frequency and is taken from the United States Census Bureau website.
Those surnames dealt with in the main text are highlighted
in bold. It is unlikely that the majority of bearers of the highlighted
surnames on this table are of Irish extraction, in view of the fact that many
Irish surnames were anglicised to conform with common British surnames.
It is clear that there is duplication between this table and the table of most numerous Irish surnames in the United States. A comparison between this table and the tables for Ireland, England and Wales, and Scotland is interesting.
A strong commonality of surnames between all the countries
is to be noted.
