Who has the most recognisable last name?

Probably not the best thread title, but you know how there are those historical figures who have instantly recognisable names? Einstein, Da Vinci, Hitler.

The last names that instantly lead to that person.

My pick is for Shakespeare. I'm interested in hearing what other people think.

Hitler, easily. No one thinks of anyone but him when you hear the name. You don't even have to say anything other than his last name for everyone to know exactly who you're talking about.

Yeah, I'd say probably Hitler Or Lincoln.

Lopez. There's a handful of celebrities with that last name, and half of mexico is a Lopez.XilePrincess

Maybe the intro wasn't clear enough. If there's a handful of celebrities with the name Lopez, then you assume multiple possible answers. Those who have suggested Hitler for example, all refer to Adolf Hitler leader of the Nazi Party.

Washington, Tesla, Poe, Bonaparte.
