I came across this fun name search while reading Willena’s blog:
According to this search, there is no one else in the U.S. with the last name “Taron”, but I know I have in-laws. 😛 There are “0” people with the last names “Tarruhn” and “Tarun” as well. Both are earlier spellings of “Taron”, which is a surname of possibly Polish/Russian/German background.
However, there are 545,943 people in the U.S. with the first name “Joyce”, which is statistically the 96th most popular first name (tied with 2 other first names).
More folks in the U.S. have my maiden name, “Schmitz”:
There are 20,998 people in the U.S. with the last name “Schmitz”. Statistically it is the 1,664th most popular last name (tied with 279 other last names!)
