Liberia is a West African country that, like many others in the region, was colonized by Europeans and experienced a significant influx of enslaved Africans. Its population is now made up of many different ethnic groups, each with its own language and cultural traditions.
One aspect of Liberian culture that is shared by many people is their last names, which are often a reflection of their family history and ancestry. Here are some of the most common surnames you might encounter in Liberia:
The surname Doe is one of the most common in Liberia, and it is believed to have originated with the Kru people. This group originally lived along the coast and was known for their seafaring skills. Over time, many Kru people were taken as slaves and brought to the Americas, where their surname became a common fixture among the African American community.
Another common surname in Liberia is Taylor, which may have originated with the Mano people. This group is known for their agricultural practices, and many of them still live in rural parts of the country. The surname Taylor is also commonly found among African Americans, particularly in the southern United States.

It is often associated with the Mandinka people, who are known for their high levels of education and skill in various trades. The surname Johnson is particularly common among African Americans in the United States, where many people can trace their ancestry back to Liberia or other parts of West Africa.
Kamara is a surname that is particularly common among the Mande people in Liberia. This group is known for their musical traditions, and many Mande musicians have gained fame both domestically and internationally. Kamara is also a popular surname in other parts of West Africa, where it may be spelled differently.
The Mensah family is believed to have originated with the Akan people, who are known for their drumming and dance traditions. Many Akan people were taken as slaves and brought to the Americas, where their surname became a common fixture among African Americans. Today, the Mensah surname is also found in other parts of West Africa, where it may be spelled differently.
Liberia is a country with a rich and diverse cultural heritage, and its surnames reflect this diversity. Whether you are proud of your family history and ancestry, or simply curious about the different naming traditions that exist around the world, learning about common Liberian surnames can be a fascinating journey into the past and present of this amazing country.
