Depends upon which part of Britain you mean. It's quite common across
the whole of the country, but particularly in Wales, where ISTR it is
second only in popularity to "Jones".

Which apropos of nothing at all is impossible to spell in Welsh
because there is no letter "J" in Welsh. Which is interesting.

Also "Evans" is more properly spelt "Efans" in Welsh because they
pronounce the letter "F" like a "V". There is no letter "V" in Welsh.
Which is also interesting.

Isn't lingustics fun?
