Is "Jensen" a common name?

[ambarnes]

I've seen two people on this board with the last name of Jensen. I turned in an incident to Peregrine the other day and it was assigned to operator named "pjensen".

Yes, Jensen is a very common last name in Denmark. I don't have any figures but it is one of the most common last names together with:

- Hansen
- Nielsen

and some others.

Well actually it would seem that you, Tommy, and Steen run off with first prize:

The link is to Danish Statistics and it would seem that me and my "seemingly abondant family" only hold a 13th place (back in '97 that is)... Funny coincidence actually, 'cause 13 is also my lucky number :wink:

Here is another funny thing.

My full name is Tommy Klein Jensen and I have registered the domain www.klein-jensen.dk

Two danish actors, Flemming Jensen and Jesper Klein have the domain www.jensenklein.dk

It's interesting to see some of the shared words between Danish/German too... ie: klein

Actually I, my sister, my brother and our mother are the only people in DK that have Klein as part of our first name.

On official papers I write

Last name: Jensen
First name: Tommy Klein
