Notes

'A figure of zero indicates that we don't have data for this name (usually because it's quite uncommon and our stats don't go down that far). It doesn't mean that there's no-one with that name at all!

For less common surnames, the figures get progressively less reliable the fewer holders of that name there are. This data is aggregated from several public lists, and some stats are interpolated from known values. The margin of error is well over 100% at the rarest end of the table!

For less common surnames, the frequency and "per million" values may be 0 even though there are people with that name. That's because they represent less than one in a million of the population, which ends up as 0 after rounding.

It's possible for a surname to gain in rank and/or total while being less common per million people (or vice versa) as there are now more surnames in the USA as a result of immigration. In mathematical terms, the tail has got longer, with a far larger number of less common surnames.

Meaning of STYLE in historical publications

STYLE. Richardson says— " steps raised to pass over," which is perhaps as good a defmition as coiUd be given iu so small a number of words ; but the st3'les which are ' passages over a fence so contrived as that cattle cannot malce use of lliem ' — as the M'ord might be more elaborately defined — differ nearly as mucli inter se in different districts, as do tlie styles of different authors. There is, however, no doubt that the surname, whether it originated in Sussex, in Cornwall, or in Northumberland, (whose th ruff- ato tie styles I shall never forget) was derived from the residence of the first bearer near such a barrier. In the middle ages, the phrase " John at Style " was in common use to denote a 23lebeian, and it still survives iu a slightly altered form iu the saying, " Jack Noakes and Tom Styles." See Noakes. H.R. Ate Stile. De la Stile.
