Do you know a Jose Mier? We're everywhere. Well, almost everywhere. In my research I've come across Jose Miers in Cuba, the United States (of course), Dominican Republic, Colombia and other countries. Those countries with a large Latino population are the ones most likely to find Jose (middle name) Mier but even the U.K. has at least one to add to the list.   The Mier surname is not as widespread as others in the region but aside from that, since Jose is a VERY popular first name, the combination of Jose and Mier is fairly common. I think it's almost a mathematical certainty that you'll get a combination of Jose and another Latin surname so I'm not surprised.
