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.

Are you always related to someone with the same last name as you even distantly?

No, unless you mean really, really distantly, as in the sense that all people in Europe are possibly distantly related. You see, there was a time when nobody had a last name, so when last names became necessary, unrelated people could acquire the same last name. For example, the name Baker. At one time all Bakers was indeed bakers, but do you think they were all related?? Similarly all Littles were either little or very big and were humorously called little, but surely not all of thm were related. People with the same last name may not even be from the same country or from the same continent. Lee is common among Chinese as well as English.
