Map of Europe's Most Popular Last Names

How did the most common last names in Europe come about?

Many surnames stem from a profession. In England, the popular surname Smith is derived from the Old English term meaning "one who works in metal." In Austria, Gruber translates to "miner."

Other names come from a parent's name, such as Ivanov, which translates into "Ivan's" (as in, the child of Ivan), or Dimitrov, which means "son of Dimitar."

How many countries do not use the metric system other than the United States? Two!

Burma and Liberia are the only other countries on earth that do not use this system of measurement. (Myanmar, shown on this map, didn't used to officially utilize the metric system, but has started to adopt it.)

Perhaps it's time for the U.S. and Liberia to join the rest of the world?
