  Heat map of population? Are these figures per-capita (Josephs per citizen instead of totals)
  • lazy_nerd 13y ago
    Its percentage of Josephs in each country. Is that what you are asking?

  The data for this for uncommon names seems really off. My last name is uncommon, so the most popular first names shows 10 names, each at 10%, and my name is nowhere on the list. Searching on Google for my last name shows many results about a minor celebrity whose first name is also missing from the list. On popular names this probably evens out, but for uncommon names I appear to not exist here.

    Yeah, I wonder about the data itself. A similar site shows that there are 230 people in the US with my last name, and I'm the only one here with my first/last name combo (there is apparently one in Canada). Also my last name is strongly Irish, and it showed no percentage of people in Ireland with my last name, but a lot in GB.

      Its based on the analysis of 45 million names on social networks so it can be biased towards people who predominantly are present on social networks.

        I am present and public on most social networks and my name is still not in this data set.

  My surname is "D'israeli", with the apostrophe. When I try to submit, it just generates a new captcha and says to try again. If I drop the apostrophe, it works fine. Articles appear fairly regularly about names and assumptions thereof, and as someone doing stats on surnames, I would have hoped that a little punctuation would have been handled just fine....
