chang is the most common surname in the world
chang is the most common surname in the world, according to about.com. it's not mohammad, as someone once told me, and as vinay rao claims.
when i first learned that mohammad was the most common last name in the world, i also heard that gonzález was the second most common. i wouldn't be surprised.
in my research i found out that the surnames hernández-martínez-garcía are the most common in mexico and some combination of these three seems to be the most common in all of the country, with the exception of yucatán.
that hernández-martínez-garcía lot was a bunch of horny bastards!
in any case, the best part is that de la garza and garza and treviño and villarreal and all of the last names that throughout the country people associate with monterrey and the rancheros of the northern states are not common at all (at least compared to hernández-martínez-garcía). in fact, according to the electoral institute, ife, in nuevo león (my homestate, whose capital is monterrey), garcía does not even make it to the top three and rodríguez replaces it in the list instead.
so next time someone makes fun of me for being a de la garza from monterrey, i will have an educated response... especially if it's a hernández or a garcía or a martínez or a rodríguez or a chang or a mohammad.
oh, and by the way, vinay ray also claims that the most common last name in china is yong, which doesn't really make sense because, how is chang the most popular in the world if it's not popular in china?
and, according to this same guy, singh is the most common last name in india.
and, as expected, smith is the most common surname in the u.s., followed by johnson, brown, and jones.
top ten last names in mexico according to ife:
1. hernández 5,526,929 people
2. garcía 4,129,360 people
3. martínez 3,886,887 people
4. gonzález 3,188,693 people
5. lópez 3,148,024 people
6. rodríguez 2,774,179 people

Chang (or "Zhang" in the official hanyu pinyin romanization system) appears not to be the most common surname on the planet. Zhang 张 is only the third most common surname in China after Li 李 and Wang 王. The fact that there is another less common family name, also romanized as Zhang (章 as in the name of the actress Zhang Ziyi) may perhaps change the stats. Though it is unlikely that even combined, these two Zhangs could debunk Li.

Chang or "Zhang" actually IS the most common surname in the world, even if not in China for the simple fact that a mass exodus of immigrants to the rest of the world came from southern China, which is Chang central. Lee or Li dominates mainland China, but the worldwide Chinese population is well in favor of Chang.

One of the best approaches to improve your funds would be to purchase the general type of goods. Next time you might be from the grocery store, find the store brand name breakfast cereal, that may taste every bit as good as being the better costed, promoted brand. This could help you save a ton of money when forecasted out across the 12 months. [url=http://www.xxxw12woo.info]somgjbli[/url]
