The website forebears.io has put together the most common last names in counties all across the country.

“Johnson” is the most common name in our region, which ranks as #2 nationally. No offense to the Johnsons, but that's pretty lame if you ask me.

"Whitaker" is the first name that pops up as #19 on the Nacogdoches list, but isn't in the top 100 of National names.
