Abstract
Data from a 1982 nationwide American Cancer Society survey of more than a million Americans show the most common surnames among American Jews as well as the percent of those reported as Jewish with these particular surnames. Comparison with data for Israel shows some similarities in the surnames among Jews in the two countries (e.g., Cohen is the single most common surname in both) but also some very marked differences in rankings.
