The maps, tables and information presented about names on this website are derived from the analysis of large databases of name records across the world.  The database holds approximately 300 million people in 26 countries of the world, representing a total population of 1 billion people in those countries. In total there are 8 million unique surnames and 5 million unique forenames from 26 countries in Europe, America, Asia and Oceania.  The roots of the names are derived using the OnoMap classification of names (www.onomap.org) which classifies names into groups of common cultural ethnic and linguistic origin using surnames and forenames.  This website displays chosen a series of administrative geographic boundaries for mapping the names data. These are broadly divided into three levels of geography: (1) Country level, as shown in the initial World Map; (2) Region level, which divides countries in coarse administrative regions; and (3)- Locality level, which subdivides the above regions into finer administrative localities.  A detailed list of the different geographical areas shown for each country can be found here.
