What is the most used name in the World?

Question

People's name's?

Answer 1

First name: Muhammed (in all its various spellings), I believe.

Last name: Dear B.J.:
A Yahoo! Search on "most common last name" resulted in this pithy article from the good folks who bring us Meriam-Webster's Word for the Wise column. The world's most common surname (not surprisingly, considering the numbers) is Chang or Zhang.
There are approximately 100 million Zhangs. The name is roughly 4,700 years old. In all of Mainland China, there are only 438 last names. Chinese surnames were originally based on geography.

Here are the top five last names in the United States, according to the 1990 data from the U.S. Census Bureau: Smith, Johnson, Williams, Jones, and Brown. There are around 3 million Smiths in the U.S., and they've held the top spot for the last 13 years.

Zhang ranks pretty low on the list of American surnames -- 2292nd. Perhaps more tellingly, Garcia and Martinez rank 18th and 19th, respectively.

Answer 2

I think the most common names are probably the biblical ones, because they have translations in almost every language! For example Mary an Joseph have similar forms in most languages, and are very common names all over the world...

Answer 3

John

Answer 4

You have asked a real whopper of a question. I can find no proof of a most popular first name for the world.
I would think that the chines would have it but there are no good resources for it.
Chin
