Surnames

As the Mormons are a religious group and not an ethnic group, there are no surnames that are always Mormon. Mormons in the U.S. most often have English or Scandinavian surnames.

These include Young, Benson, Allred, Beckstead, Bennion, Bingham, Bradshaw, Carr, Christensen, DeMille, Feldsted, Forbush, Gardner, Gubler, Hansen, Hartvigsen, Hardward, Hatch, Hymas, Izatt, Jacobsen, Jensen, Jorgensen, Kimball, Larsen, Lauritzen, Mecham, Naegle, Olsen, Pulsipher, Rasmussen, Rigby, Robison, Romney, Shumway, Smoot, Sorensen, Spendlove, Talbot, Turley, Wills, Yorgensen, Zabriskie and Zollinger.
