A little bit of trivia

In English-speaking countries, the most common surname is what you expect: Smith. But the most common surname in the world is Chang, with a total of more than 80 million! And the most common first name in the world? Mohammed!

Well, half the men in the world whose first names are Mohammed, actually use Mohammed as a prefix to their "real" first name.

Does the trivia stat account for this for cultural nuance???
