I'm no anthropologist, so this is mostly conjecture.

Most names have a distinct meaning to them, especially last names (also called surnames or family names). Smith, Tailors, Weaver, and Hunter among many others, are professions. Alternate spellings such as Smythe or Taylor also exist for these names. Another source of names are virtues, properties, or objects. My name is Thai Hiep, which quite literally means "joyous/happy/festive unity/cooperation/togetherness", an apt name for the youngest son? Other names such as Tynan (dusky/dark) or Johannes, and its derivitaves John and Jack, mean "Yahweh is graciuos." It would seem names are assined to people according to their current role or professions or for the hopes of a parent for their child.

How many peoples names are there in the world?

It is not possible to know how many people of a given name there are. Some people with the last name Smith share the same last name as many others, but if you have the last name Zubcouski, it may not be very popular. In many countries names are not registered, in some cases most births are not also. For this reason and other reasons no universal list of names exist. There are additional problems such as translations, nicknames and breaches of privacy. It would be a monumental task to collate all the names in the world, the task would take many years and a great deal of money for no economic benefit.

How many names are there in the world?

There are more names in the world then you could imagine. Any combination of letters (in any alphabet) or signs (e.g kanji, hiragana) could create a name in a specific language. Further, names can be identified by honorifics, titles, initials, numeration, suffixes (e.g. junior, elder), or residence, so that a single specific individual can be indicated. However, most family names and given names are not unique, so they are shared by others with no direct biological connection. As it is possible for a person to have more than one name, the number of names is not limited to the number of people living, or the number who have lived. Occasionally, individuals use pseudonyms, or stage names, or legally change their names (or the spelling) for a variety of reasons. These changes can be seen among many writers, film stars, and musical performers (e.g. Lewis Carroll, Dr. Seuss, Rock Hudson, Cher, Prince, LL Cool J, Eminem).
