To quote The Columbia Encyclopedia (2000, sixth edition), Muhammad is &quotrobably the most common given name" worldwide when all variations are taken into considered and there an estimated fifteen million people worldwide who have the name Muhammad.

First name: Muhammad (already been stated)
Last name: Li (this sometimes will change over the course of a few years)

Not really, try more like John or pretty much any Christian name.


"John" is generally only used in English-speaking countries. Most Christian countries use adaptations of the name, like "Johan", or "Juan". Muhammad, however, is the same in just about every language, and because there are much fewer Islamic names than Christian names, Muhammad is the most common.

I think Lau would be more common than Li


Li is unbelievable common. You wouldn't believe it. Lau is also probably somewhat common, but if you go to China, you can't escape Li!

Fix'd.

I think the most common middle name is Amadeus. I know at least four billion (give or take 3.999999999 billion) people with the middle name Amadeus.

The most common last name is pretty much a toss up between Chang and Li. Muhammad definitely for first.

I'd say Zega. Everybody knows him!

No seriously, in my nature I know these things. It's Muhammed (bad spelling is bad), which has been proved before.
