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. |
