In 1996 Guinness listed this 17 letter surname as the longest English surname:
Featherstonehaugh

We also managed to find what is possibly the longest full name ever:
Adolph Blaine Charles David Earl Frederick Gerald Hubert Irvin John Kenneth Lloyd Martin Nero
Oliver Paul Quincy Randolph Sherman Thomas Uncas Victor William Xerxes Yancy Zeus
Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff
