My surname is sort of on the globe. There is a city in Germany called Bielefeld.

Hmmm. My name is very big in Spain as to be expected. But it is more popular in regions adjacent to the area/city which is my namesake. There is one anomaly. There is a pocket in the northern reaches of Sweden, Jamtland and Vasternorrland.

Almost none of my name on the continent.

Biggest concentrations in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Who knew it was such a rare name? You'd think Ireland would be lousy with Hooligans....
