Frequently asked questions

Is 보보 a male or female name?
보보 is recorded for both men and women. We don't publish a percentage split: a record's gender belongs to the person and is attached to every given name on that record, so names in cultures where a name string also carries a parent's or spouse's given name pick up large cross-gender counts.
In which country does 보보 have the most bearers?
In the United States, the national register counted about 9.3 thousand people named Bobo, more than in any other country we hold.
Where is 보보 most common?
No national register we hold counts the spelling 보보 itself. The densest figure for its family of spellings is United States's: the national register counts about 1 in 36 thousand people named Bobo.
How common is the name 보보?
In the United States, the national register counted 9,254 people named Bobo in 2010, about 1 in 36 thousand residents.

About this data

measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated

These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.

Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.

Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
