The Most Common Names and Surnames in the U.S. (1990) are presented at http://names.mongabay.com based on analysis of the 1990 census by The U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division, Population Analysis & Evaluation Staff.

Note: these results appear to be derived from a sampling approach in which the smallest decernable percentage of the total population was 0.001%; and the population numbers appear to be the approximate percentage, rounded off to the nearest 0.001%, multiplied by an estimate of the total population. As a result, the number 2,487 appeares to be the granularity of the estimates.

Of the names on our list, these are amoung the 100,000 most common surnames in the U.S. population (1990):
