Where in the world(measured from records)

Sorted by bearers: national registers' counts, and Mondonomo's estimates (≈, est.) where no register counts.

Registers cited: IBGE — names by decade (Kaggle mirror); INE Uruguay — Nombres más frecuentes 1902–2024 (Tableau Public); the us-wru-surnames-voterfile register; datos.gob.ar — nombres.datos.gob.ar per-name lookup (1922–2015). Figures without a register are Mondonomo estimates; see Methodology.

- Arasi 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.

- Where is Arasi most common?

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.
