Big List Of Last Names Beginning With S

Are you looking for a comprehensive list of last names beginning with “S”?

We’ve used the 2000 and 2010 U.S. Census to compile surnames that start with the letter S and have at leasttwoe thousand bearers of the name.

In the table below, you’ll see the total number of bearers for the name in each census.

Wait – I Know A Surname That Isn’t On This List!

If you don’t find a name that you’re interested in, then it likely didn’t have 2,000 people of that name recorded in both U.S. censuses.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We have a separate article on checking whether a last name is rare or common.

We also have an easy-to-use tool that shows you where your surname ranks in the United States. It has a much lower threshold of one hundred bearers.

Some Of These Spellings Don’t Look Right!

Are you side-eying the entry for “Stjames”? Shouldn’t that be St James or St. James?

Well, yes. But the U.S. census records it like “STJAMES”. In other words, they remove the space and capitalize every letter.

I’ve updated the names from being all in caps (which just looks rude). But I haven’t added in extra spaces because there are some variants that I’m simply not sure whether the name is one word or two.
