Me, from Belgium: “I’m RIGHT HERE!”

I love how at 10:15 he draws a blackberry phone while talking about fruit and doesn't even bat an eye at the joke.

Last name from ancestral origin meaning:
Your father is named Anders, therefore you are the son of Anders which would make you Ander's son or Andersson.

Would love to hear about those African expeditions! Honestly never heard of them before

I'm from Sri Lanka and you're correct about Perera. We used to be colonised by Portugal in the 1500s. Our most common last names are Perera, Fernando, and Silva.

And if you look at maps of German states by GRP, life satisfaction, and population changes, they too match with the former division line between East and West Germany. On a map of population changes, the East German states are shrinking in a bigger percentage when compared to West German states.
the former division has certainly impacted the way Germany is today

4:53 Nowak in Poland and Novákova in Czech Republic are really the same surname. The difference here is caused that Czech surname is different depending if is borne by man (Novák) or woman (Novákova). Polish surnames do not change now (it did historically) except for those ending in -ski (for man i. e. Kowalski) or -ska (woman i.e. Kowalska) so both, men and women are called Nowak in Polish.

For "the most common last name": Red coloring means the surname was derived from the first name of parents (or clan). Nováková is female version of Novák, which is the same as Nowak, basically meaning 'new guy'.

[nathancreek]

I think the ancestral thing on the last names map means "son of" like the most common in Sweden being Andersson (son of Anders) and in Denmark it's Jensen (son of Jen) and Norway is Hansen (son of Han)

[hugopnik]

Nováková (female version of Novák surname) and Polish Nowak are the same. There is also German Neuman, wich means Newman IIRC

[noahstevens]

Before the actual video here I got an ad for Old Spice that said “men have skin too” and I honestly had to take a minute to check if I still had skin

[Sanu.sk]

This guy: Glasgow is the rainiest place in Europe

Brussels: Pls hold more than 3 quarter of my year ...

Very cool! I’m intrigued by the Roman expeditions into the Sahara. Never heard of this before, would love to know more!

[vishwadrikhkashyapa]

3:01 this is freaky. The amount the Soviets impacted the east that still remains today is shocking. There are even images from space showing the east of Berlin having mainly yellow lights while the west of berlin uses whiter more efficient light. Also P.S another great video. Loved the intro thing in this one.

It’s really interesting how Smith is the most common surname in all of the Anglosphere countries since they all share a language, history, culture, lifestyle and identity.
