Triggered by \\bsofeminine\\.co.uk\\b on the local blacklist|bot=Cyberbot II|invisible=false}} {{use dmy dates|date=January 2013}}This is a list of the most common surnames in Europe, sorted by country. Notably absent from the list is Iceland, whose people use patronymics or matronymics but not surnames in the conventional sense. See Icelandic names. Albania{{See also|Albanian name}}At the moment, listings for the most common names are unavailable for Albania. However the most common names include the following: - Common names denoting profession. Of these, religious professional names have been particularly widespread, including Hoxha (a Muslim priest, Sunni or Bektashi, with its variant Hoxhaj), Prifti (a Christian priest, Catholic or Orthodox), Shehu (a Bektashi priest) and Dervishi (Bektashi clergy). Bektashi itself is also a common surname. Ironically, Hoxha was the surname of Enver Hoxha, the leader of Communist Albania who banned all religions. There are numerous other professional names which are not as common. Begu also denotes a former ruler and also the surname(s) Gjoni or Gjonaj
- Common names which originated as patrinomials. Common names of this sort include Leka or Lekaj (Alex), Gjoni or Gjonaj (John), Murati (Murad), Mehmeti (Mehmed), Hysi (typically short for Hussein), Gjika/Gjoka (short for Jacob, cf Jake), Marku (Mark), Kola/Kolla/Nikolla (Nicholas), Hasani (Hassan), Kristi/Kristo, Luka (Lucas), Brahimi (Abraham, from Turkish), Sinani, Thanasi (Athanasius), Halili (Halil), and Abazi (Abbas). Albanians of Muslim background often bear Christian last names (denoting former Christian origin), and those with Christian often bear Muslim last names (which many in Northern regions adopted thinking it would lead to better treatment from the Ottoman authorities), although the holders of Bektashi surnames are usually actually of Bektashi background
- Common names which originated as place names. May denote former residence, or, if the bearer has a Muslim patrilineal background, that their ancestors ruled the place. Common places used as surnames include Dibra, Laci, Shkodra, Prishtina, Delvina, Koroveshi and Permeti, as well as the famous Frasheri surname of the Frasheri family. Additionally common some names indicate regional origins: Gega/Gegaj (for one of Gheg origin), Tosku/Toskaj (signifying Tosk origin) and Chami (for Cham origin).
- Some common names are Northern Albanian clan names that double as place names such as Kelmendi and Shkreli. Other notable clan-origin names include Berisha, Krasniqi and Gashi. These sorts of names are very common in far Northern Albania and in Kosovo.
- Colors: of which Kuqi (red) and Bardhi (white) are the most commonly used as surnames.

"Hämäläinen" literally means an inhabitant of Häme. The suffix -nen is an adjective ending. Most common Swedish surnames in Finland Rank | Surname | Population | Percentage[17] |

Greece{{See also|Greek name}}The majority of Greek names are patronymic. There are also several names derived from professions (Samaras, Σαμαράς = saddle maker, Papoutsis, Παπουτσής = shoe maker), area of (former) residence (Kritikos, Κρητικός = from Crete, Aivaliotis, Αϊβαλιώτης= from Ayvalik), nicknames relating to physical or other characteristics (Kontos, Κοντός = short, Mytaras, Μυταράς = large-nosed, Koufos, Κουφός = deaf) and more. The patronymic suffix varies between dialects; thus Giannidis, Giannakos, Giannatos, Giannopoulos, Giannelis, Giannioglou all mean "son of Giannis."[24] HungaryRank[25][27] | # | Surname | Meaning | 1 | 235,400 (2.4%) | Nagy | Big | 2 | 228,210 (2.3%) | Horváth | Croat | 3 | 217,359 (2.2%) | Kovács | Smith (occupational name) | 4 | 209,549 (2.1%) | Szabó | Tailor (occupational name) | 5 | 206,954 (2.1%) | Tóth | Slavic (non-Orthodox) | 6 | 137,847 (1.4%) | Varga | Leatherworker (occupational name) | 7 | 131,435 (1.3%) | Kiss | Small | 8 | 106,942 (1.1%) | Molnár | Miller (occupational name) | 9 | 91,878 (0.9%) | Németh | German/Germanic | 10 | 83,188 (0.8%) | Farkas | Wolf | 11 | 80,575 (0.8%) | Balogh | Left-handed | 12 | 52,766 (0.5%) | Papp | Priest (occupational name) | 13 | 52,131 (0.5%) | Takács | Weaver (occupational name) | 14 | 51,224 (0.5%) | Juhász | Shepherd (occupational name) | 15 | 47,151 (0.5%) | Lakatos | Locksmith (occupational name) | 16 | 40,079 (0.4%) | Mészáros | Butcher (occupational name) | 17 | 38,330 (0.4%) | Oláh | Vlach/Romanian | 18 | 37,960 (0.4%) | Simon | Simon | 19 | 35,008 (0.4%) | Rácz | Serb, South Slavic | 20 | 34,496 (0.3%) | Fekete | Black(-haired) |

Names starting with O' and Mac/Mc were originally patronymic. Of the names above, with the exception of Smith and Walsh, all originally began with O' or Mac/Mc but many have lost this prefix over time. Mac/Mc, meaning Son, and Ó, meaning From, are used by sons born into the family. In the case of a daughter being born into the family she would use Ní/Nic, for example Ó Muireadhaigh becomes Ní Mhuireadhaigh. A woman who marries into the family and takes her husband's name uses Uí/Mic- e.g. Uí Mhuireadhaigh.[27][28] Italy{{See also|Italian name}}From Mappa dei Cognomi website.[29] Rank | Name | Frequency | Meaning |

Those Russian surnames that end with -ov/-ev or -in/-yn are originally patronymic or metronymic possessive adjectivals with the meaning "son of" or "daughter/wife of" (the feminine is formed with the -a ending - Smirnova, Ivanova, etc.). In older documents such surnames were written with the word syn "son", for example, Ivánov syn "John's son" or Il'yín syn "Elijah's son"; the last word was later dropped. Such names are roughly equivalent to the English or Welsh surnames Richardson or Richards. The Russian equivalent of "Smith, Jones, and Brown" (that is, the generic most popular surnames) is Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov, or "Jones, Peters, and Isidores", although Sidorov is now ranked only 66th.[43] Serbia Rank[44] | Surname | Cyrillic script | Meaning | 1 | Jovanović | Јовановић | Son of Jovan (John) | 2 | Petrović | Петровић | Son of Petar (Peter) | 3 | Nikolić | Николић | Son of Nikola (Nicholas) | 4 | Marković | Марковић | Son of Marko (Mark) | 5 | Đorđević | Ђорђевић | Son of Đorđe (George) | 6 | Stojanović | Стојановић | Son of Stojan (Stoyan) | 7 | Ilić | Илић | Son of Ilija (Elijah) | 8 | Stanković | Станковић | Son of Stanko (Stan) | 9 | Pavlović | Павловић | Son of Pavle (Paul) | 10 | Milošević | Милошевић | Son of Miloš (Milosh) |

Note: The most common surnames in Slovakia are a mixture of Indo-European and the Ugric roots reflecting the 900-year-long coexistence of the Indo-European Slovaks and speakers of other Indo-European languages with Ugric Hungarians and the Croatians, under Hungarian assimilation pressure throughout the 19th century (see Magyarization, see History of Slovakia). In 1910 Hungarians made up one-third of the population of present-territory of Slovakia.[48] Hungarians are currently an 8% minority[46] in Slovakia due to population exchanges and Slovakization.[49] (see Demographics of Slovakia). While ethnic Hungarians are relatively few in Slovakia, their large presence on the list of most common names reflects the intra-lingual frequency of the frequent names in Hungary.

Spain{{main|Spanish naming customs}}The top ten surnames cover about 20% of the population, with important geographical differences. The regional distribution of surnames within Spain was homogenized mostly through internal migrations, especially since 1950. Names typical of the old crown of Castile have become the most common all over the country. Most of the common Spanish surnames originating from Germanic first names were introduced in Spain during the fifth to seventh centuries by the Visigoths, so almost all are from the Visigoth tradition. {{div col|colwidth=30em}}- García - 1,378,000 people (3.48%) Pre-Roman, Basque.
