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.

Smith is the most popular then Jones and Johnson. Smith happens to be my maiden name. And on my moms side there are like 3 more lines of Smith but were not inbred. LOL
England and USA--Smith
It depends on the country. There really cant be a world popular because of different ancestry and such. Like you most likely wouldn't find a chinese person with the last name of Smith or Jones,

In the United States, the most popular are Smith, Johnson, Williams, Jones, and Brown.
