French surnames
French surnames
List of famous french surnames.
The first French surnames appeared among representatives of high French society. Later, in 1539, a royal decree was issued, according to which, for each inhabitant of France, his family name, that is, his surname, was assigned.
As surnames, the French, like other peoples, used personal names, nicknames and derivatives of names and nicknames.
According to the royal decree, surnames were to be inherited and recorded in parish books. This royal decree of 1539 is considered the official beginning of the emergence of French surnames. Aristocrats used the preposition de before the surname.
At first, under French law, a child could only bear the father's surname, and the mother's surname could only be given to a child if the father was unknown. Now French law allows parents to decide for themselves whose surname the child will have - the surname of the father or the surname of the mother. Also used double french surnames, which are written with a hyphen.
At the moment, the following titles are placed before the use of French names and surnames:
Mademoiselle (mademoiselle) - an appeal to an unmarried woman, a girl.
Madame (madame) - an appeal to a married, divorced or widowed woman. The plural is Mesdames ("honey").
Monsieur (monsieur) - an appeal to a man.
Like all words in French, surnames have fixed stress at the end of a word.

They say "as you call a boat, so it will float." Does this mean that a popular surname can make a person popular too?
Among the most popular surnames are not only Chinese or English, but also Russian, Spanish, African and even Greek.
Here are the most common surnames in the world:

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Oxford University philologist Ottokar Genrikhovich Unbegaun, who was a native of Russia, was one of the first to try to figure out the most popular surname.

Vasiliev.

However, it is worth noting that one of the most popular surnames today is also the surname Kuznetsov (Kuznetsova). And if we consider that in English the blacksmith is smith, then there are several million carriers of this surname on Earth.

The most common surnames in European leagues
On Saturday, the gates of Real Madrid were hit by Levante striker Ivan Lopez from the transfer of ... defender Ivan Lopez. Where else is this possible?
Inspired by the successful cloning in Levant, we conducted a mini-research to find out which surnames are the most common in the Russian and European top championships.
Spoiler: Spaniards are out of competition.
Spain
Garcia
The surname of Basque origin is the most popular in Spain. It is worn by about one and a half million inhabitants of Spain (4% of the country's population). This is also reflected in football. Immediately 13 representatives of La Liga act under the name Garcia. And among them there is not a single close relative. Among the Garcias known to a wide circle are Saul from Atlético, ex-mattress Raul, now playing for Athletic, Valencia coach Marcelino Garcia Toral and Xavi (Betis) and Samu (Levante), well known to us from the Premier League.
In second place is Lopez. There were as many as 10 of them. Interestingly, five of them play in the same team at once - Espanyol (Pau, Diego, Adrian, Xavi and David). Three are already familiar to us Pedro and two Ivans from Levante. And you can remember Adrian Lopez from Deportivo from his performances for Atlético.
The rest of the common surnames lose a lot. In the top Spanish division there are five Suarez (including Denis and Luis from Barcelona), five Hernandez, the same number of Gomez, Sanchez and Jimenez. As for the Jimenez, it is worth making a reservation - their names are written both with the letter J and with G, but they are pronounced the same way. Despite this, we decided to combine them into one item.
And another curious detail - three Zidane appear in La Liga at once. In addition to the Real Madrid coach, these are his children - Enzo and Luca. Here is a family contract.
My dad is a star! And your?
Our story is about football "families": from the heirs of Zidane and Bebeto to scouts and goalkeepers of Russian clubs.
France
The most common surname in the country: Martin
In any case, the surname Martin is the most common among the indigenous population of France. In all of Ligue 1, there is only one player with that name - Strasbourg player Jaune Martin. But Traore is more than enough - as many as six. Among the acquaintances of a wide audience are Bertrand from Lyon and our good old Lasina.
The second most common surname is Toure (the brothers Yaya and Kolo are not seen), Sarr, Mendy, Coulibaly, Kone (do I need to say that all representatives of these surnames in League 1 are black?) and ... Silva. Together with Thiago from PSG, there are three of them.
England
The most common surname in the country: Smith
In England, things are somewhat more prosaic. Although there are enough Smiths here - these are Brad and Alan Smith from Bournemouth, as well as Tommy representing Huddersfield. In general, the composition of "Bournemouth" is a storehouse of common English surnames. There are two Cooks at once - Steve and Lewis, one King (plus Andy from Leicester and Adam from Swansea), and one Wilson (there is also Liverpool Harry).
For reference: the most common surname in the Premier League is Ward. Although it is far from the first place in the list of popular British surnames. There are four Wards in the Premier League - Danny (Liverpool), Joel (Crystal Palace), Stephen (Burnley) and James Ward-Prowse (Southampton). We also note the non-British surname Sanchez - with the arrival of Devinson Sanchez to Tottenham and Renata Sanches to Swansea, there were three of them in the league. You don't know who the third one is?
18 football players whose hearts demand change. And money
Not only Coutinho and Diego Costa.
Germany
The most common surname in the country: Muller
Mullers, or millers, is the most common surname in Germany, which is directly reflected in the Bundesliga, where there are four of them: in addition to the star Thomas, these are Nikolai from Hamburg, Florian from Mainz and Sven from Cologne. And no, none of them are related to the Bayern striker.
Otherwise, nothing interesting - in the Bundesliga there are 10 football players who have namesakes in the league (including the brothers Mario and Felix Götze, as well as Sven and Lars Bender). Not very much compared to the same Spain.
Italy
The most common surname in the country: Russia
Not so long ago, there were enough players with the surname Rossi in Serie A. Now there are only two left, and then with reservations. Atalanta goalkeeper Francesco and Roma captain Daniele (the prefix De means "of"). In general, Italian surnames are quite diverse, as they have many derivatives based on the status, profession and father's name. Therefore, among the leading surnames in the Italian division, the majority are foreign.
Four players named Costa (including Douglas from Juventus), two Gomez and two Zapatas. Interestingly, one of the most common surnames is Donnarumma. In addition to the prodigy from Milan, this is his brother Antonio, also a goalkeeper, whom the Rossoneri signed out to keep Giggio at the club. And Benevento midfielder Alessio, who has nothing to do with the first two.
