"If you ever wondered why there were so many Kims, Lees and Parks in Korea, it is because instead of creating new family names, Koreans have kept track of their common ancestors and distinguished groups of families within the larger family by tracing their regional origin. Not all Kims are alike. There are Kimhae Kims, Andong Kims and many others. Most clans own large tracts of land that are passed on from generation to generation."

No, but it would not be terribly surprising to see a Welsh football team with 13 Jones out of 22 players.
