Hmm...

Smith, Johnson, Williams, Jones, and Brown are all 1,2,3,4, and 5, respectively...

I detect some sort of pattern with these last names :D

I would never think it was that common, but it's probably, one of, if not the most common Hungarian last name.

12576. I can't believe it. It's actually not that uncommon. Actually it's probably because the romanized version has no tonal differentiation.
