Most Common Surname Beginning with "J": Johnson

John is one of the most enduringly popular first names with its religious association that dates it back thousands of years ago. The surname Johnson, of Scottish and English origins, started gaining popularity in medieval times. Derived from Yochanan, which means “God has favored me with a son” in Hebrew, John has been a favored first name in Europe for centuries and eventually overtook the ever popular William despite King John (of England) being an unpopular king. One of the first uses of this surname was recorded in Scotland in 1296 and was spelled Jonessone, while other Johnsons were later recorded during the first English tax records in Yorkshire.
