Would like to know what you think of the last name Major...

What are your thoughts on the last name “[name_m]Major[/name_m]”? is it uncommon? basic? what do you think its origin is? if you can even answer this, what last name is it comparable to ex. [name_m]Smith[/name_m]. I know it doesn’t really make a difference but we have a first name in mind that rhymes with it.

As a last name, I’m perfectly fine with it. It seems uncommon, as I’ve never met someone personally with the last name, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if I heard it over a school intercom somewhere.

I dont think I’ve met anyone with the surname, but it doesnt feel unfamiliar. I’d assume it was English in origin

Where I live [name_m]Major[/name_m] is a fairly rare surname but it’s not unheard-of.

[name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Major[/name_m] was Prime Minister of [name_m]Britain[/name_m] in the 1990s so I would assume that it’s of English origin.
