Hundreds of other English surnames are “endangered” — so rare that fewer than 50 people in [name_f]England[/name_f] and [name_m]Wales[/name_m] have them — and many more may be extinct within a couple more generations. These include
Pober
[name_u]Mirren[/name_u]
Febland
Nighy
Grader
Bonneville
Gruger
[name_f]Carla[/name_f]
Fernard
Portendorfer
Actress [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_u]Mirren[/name_u], whose name is on that list, was born with the last name Mironoff, which her Russian father Anglicized to [name_u]Mirren[/name_u]. Actors [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] Bonneville and [name_m]Bill[/name_m] Nighy also have endangered surnames.
Names that are dying out the fastest these days, as compared to the 1901 UK census, include the surname [name_m]William[/name_m], which in 1901 was the 374th-most common surname. In that year, one in every 1,000 people had the surname [name_m]William[/name_m]; now, not 1 in 50,000 people in the UK does, a 97 percent decreased in prevalence. Other names dying out in the UK include:
[name_m]Cohen[/name_m] (-42%)
Ashworth (-39%)
[name_m]Sutcliffe[/name_m] (-36%)
Clegg (-34%)
Butterworth (-34%)
Crowther (-34%)
Kershaw (-34%)
[name_u]Brook[/name_u] (-34%)
Greenwood (-32%)
Haigh (-31%)
[name_m]Pratt[/name_m] (-31%)
Nuttal (-30%)
Ingham (-30%)
[name_m]Ogden[/name_m] (-30%)
More people researching their roots today has led to an interest in preserving rare surnames, and as a result, more people are using hyphenated surnames in [name_f]England[/name_f]. In 1901, “double-barreled names” were used only by the upper class, and just 1 in 50,000 people had one. Today, 1 in 50 people has a hyphenated surname, and almost half of them say it’s to preserve a family surname.
