Where does the last name Jones come from?

In Wales when the English started to take a census and gave the welsh last names, the most common name was sion (shawn) which is John in Welsh. The last name given by the English was actually the name of the father of the person they asked. Hence if your name was Owain and your fathers name was Sion, in Welsh that is Owain ab Sion. (Owain son of John) So the English put it down as Jones for a last name. This is also how the last names of John Johns and Johnson were derived. This is why Jones became such a common name in Wales and does not mean that people were actually related at that time. Funny enough, there is no J in the Welsh alphabet.
