| Surname
Distribution |

The frequency of
a surname indicates how popular a name is compared to the population of
the nation.
The density of a
surname aims to highlight how concentrated the surname is in any one
location at that time compared to the national average. A density equal
to '1' indicates an even distribution, i.e. equivalent to the national
average.
A density greater
than '1' indicates a higher, than normal, concentration of the surname.
This could indicate the place of origin of the surname, or just a more
fertile bunch of families. This is clearly evident in the following
examples.
