Frequently asked questions

Is Alvé a male or female name?
Alvé 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 Alvé have the most bearers?
In Brazil, the national register counted about 2.4 thousand people named Alvé, more than in any other country we hold.
Where is Alvé most common?
Measured as a share of residents rather than as a count, Alvé is densest in Finland — about 1 in 34 thousand people — even though Brazil holds more of our records for it.
How common is the name Alvé?
In Brazil, the national register counted 2,429 people named Alvé, about 1 in 87 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.
