The popularity - most frequent mention - of people is measured by various means, including search queries in google.trends and (specifically in international media) by marshallindex.com, which measurines how often the name is mentioned in media.
In this way you can find out who was most famous at what time.
I prefer marshallindex over google.trends because I believe media mention has still more impact and so is a better indication of fame - for celebrities then search queries.
We need to take into account the fact that news media is the primary driver of search engine queries: media brings subjects to the attention of the population, who in turn use search engines to further research the subject of that media attention.

I think Jesus or Elvis are the most famous people, neither of which will score highly on any internet things, or maybe Caesar or Alexander the great, or even Shakespeare.
