What is the distinction of the word in the thread title ?

[Darrell KSR]

Close to Brown?

Close to Brown?

I think that's it. The letters that need to be changed to spell brown are the first N and a w in place of the e.

It has the distinction of being the most common surname in the world.

6,731,736th
Most Common
Surname in the World
Most prevalent in Cambodia

And you thought that honor would go to Smith

[Darrell KSR]

Great tidbit. That is interesting!

[Darrell KSR]

Uhh...

6,731,736th most common means there are 6,731,735 names more common than that, doesn't it?

[dan_bgblue]

I did not know which tid bit to believe. So I picked the one I found to be the most odd. Or maybe I just read it wrong, but what you see there is a copy and paste from the article

[Darrell KSR]

You're reading it wrong...what you posted says it is the

"6,731,736th Most Common Surname in the World"

Most prevalent in Cambodia

I just took out the spacing to be easier to read.

The "th" is the giveaway.

The name is a Cambodian name, hence, that's where it is most prevalent.

[Darrell KSR]

I did a little digging...

[dan_bgblue]

Are you saying Smith still has a chance?

[Darrell KSR]

I'm guessing there's a Chinese or Indian name on top? Maybe? I don't know. Maybe it is Smith.

I'd like to see a top 10 list. And a top 10 American list. Smith, Jones, Williams? I don't know what it would be, but it would be interesting.
