- In which country does Budhi have the most bearers?
- Mondonomo estimates about 22 thousand people named Budhi in Indonesia, more than in any other country we hold.
- How common is the name Budhi?
- In Poland, the national register counted 4 people named Budhi in 2026, about 1 in 9.6 million 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.
