Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 24, 2014 -- WhitePages, the leading provider of contact information for people and businesses in the U.S., today revealed the most popular last names in the country that are shared with American’s most beloved household brands. Research found that a number of real Mr. Cleans (45 people) and Mrs. Butterworths (5,924 people) are living among us in the United States.
Based on data from Names.WhitePages.com, Campbell, Newman and McCormick are the three most popular last names associated with brands in the U.S., with Campbell at the top spot with over 488,000 residing in the U.S. Prince and Kraft round out the top five.
“Most of these brands have been around for generations and are ingrained into the fabric of American consumerism,” says Liz Powell, names expert for WhitePages. “It’s interesting to see just how these brand names for products like soup, applesauce, pasta and more are integrated into our country’s fabric of last names.”
In addition to the number of people with popular brand names for last names, WhitePages also researched which states in which they live. Not surprisingly, the majority of Hersheys live in Pennsylvania and the most Wrigleys live in Illinois.
