This activity was offered by National Geographic. It's an interactive map of the United States, showing surnames in various sizes. The names are sized according to how common they are. Also, the names are color-coded in order to determine the origin of them.

This was a wonderful resource that I found on the Free Technology for Teachers website. It is a map of common surnames found in America. If you click on the link, it goes to the National Geographic website and you can drag and zoom in on an interactive map with your mouse. This would be a great activity to integrate in a social studies class and perhaps even a lesson on immigration.
