It's common worldwide: #708 on this list of the 1000 most-common surnames in the world: https://forebears.io/earth/surnames https://forebears.io/earth/surnames That's higher than 'Serrano', 'Meyer', 'Murphy', 'Parker', 'Çelik', 'Banerjee' - names I picked from the many other options because I know people with all those surnames who I'd not want to curse with a same-named disease variant. Excluding many thousands of common given names, surname, place names, etc makes sense.
