The decline of white America In 2010, the fifteen most common surnames in the country were Smith, Johnson, Williams, Brown, Jones, Garcia, Miller, Davis, Rodriguez, Martinez, Hernandez, Lopez, Gonzales, Wilson, and Anderson. There had been no Hispanic names on the list in the 1990 census. The six that suddenly appeared bumped out Moore, Taylor, Thomas, Jackson, White, and Harris. The country now had more Nguyens than Bakers or Turners or Coopers or Cooks, and more Patels than Powells. Wong, Wang, and Yang outranked Davidson, Pearson, and Benson.
