What surname is used commonly throughout the world?

Nguyen is a Vietnamese name.

My guess is that Lee or homophones of it. (Lee, Li, Leigh, Lea) You can find a lot of these names in East Asia, Europe and North America.
Also, maybe Garcia since it is common in most Spanish speaking countries as well as France, the US, and the Philippines.
Ahmed or Mohammed would be popular across the Middle East and North Africa and parts of South Asia.
