1500 Regency Era Last Names
A few people have expressed interest, so here is a random selection of 1500 surnames taken from the same sample as the names from my Regency first name survey.
These names are taken from marriage records in Westminster, London (a very wealthy area) between 1800 and 1820.
As these names are taken from real people, some of them have cultural (Irish/Scottish/Welsh/etc.) or social (e.g. FitzRoy originally being used for the illegitimate children of royalty) connotations, or associations with extant noble families - so be sure to do a quick google before attaching them to any characters/etc.
