Nguyens are nearly as numerous as Tremblays in the city. Of course Nguyen is hugely common among Vietnamese, whereas Tremblay, although the most common surname in Quebec, still only belongs to .43% of the population. What's also interesting is that Patel is now the fifth commonest name in Montreal, being the second commonest surname in India.

(This isn't the first time I've read this Nguyen/Tremblay news. It was mentioned in local media at least ten years ago, but I can't cite a reference. I think that story was based on a count of phone book column inches.)
