Meaning & origin
(measured from records)Plg. liet. pvd. Nar-botas < Nar-butas, Nar-būda, Nar-būdas, Nar-buntas, Nar-bunt-avičius, Nar-buta, Nar-būta, Nar-būtas, Nar-but-avičius, Nar-būt-avičius, Nar-būtis, Nar-būtis, Nor-gela, Nar-gelas, Nar-gėlas, Nar-gel-evičius, Nar-gel-enas, Nar-gelis, Nar-mantas, Nar-montas, Nar-muntas, Nar-tautas, Nar-tovtas, Nar-vaiša, Nar-vaišas, Nar-vaišis, Nar-vaišis, Nar-vidas, Nar-vydas, Nar-vila, Nar-vil-aitis, Narvilas (žr.); pr. Nartawte, Narvais (R. Trautmann, 1925, p. 66, 147). Greta sudurtinių pavardžių ir šiaip asmenvardžių su nar- turime nemaža su nor-: pvd. Nor-bontas, Nor-buntas, Nor-butas, Nor-būtas, Nor-gaila, Nor-gdila, Nor-gela, Nor-gela, Nor-gelas, Nor-gelis, Nor-gel-avičius, Nor-gilas, Nor-mantas, Nor-montas,\ Nor-vainis, jVor-vaiša, Nor-vaiš-aitis, Nor-vaišas, Nor-vaišis, Nor-vaišius, Nor-vidas, Nor-vydas, Nor-vila, Nor-vila, Nor-vil-ditis, Nor-vilas, Nor-vilas, Nor-vilis (žr.); avd. Nčr-tautas (A. Salys, 1933, p. 91), pr. Nor-e-mmt (R. Trautmann, ten pat, p. 72, 147). Be to, sandai nar(t)-, nor (t)- gana dažnai būna sudurtinių pavardžių ar kitų asmenvardžių antraisiais sandais: liet. pvd. At-naras, Bai-naras, Bai-nar-avičius, Bai-nartas, Bai-noras, Bei-naras, itez-nar-avičius, Bei-naris, Bei-narys, Bei-nartas, Bei-noras, Bei-nor-avičius, Bei-noris, Bei-norius, But-noras, Būt-noras, But-noris, Būt-norius, But-norius, Dai-naras, Dai-nar-avičius, Dai-nora, Dai-noras, Dei-noras, Daug-nora, Daug-nčras, Daū-nara, Dau-nar-avičius, DdfiNarbutas -naris, Daū-nora, Daū-noras, Dau-nor-avičius, Daū-noris, Daū-norius, 296 Ei-naras, Ei-noras, Einoris, Sau-noris, Sau-norius, Vaikš-noras, Vaikš-ndris, Vai-nar-avičius, Vai-nora, Vaišnoras, Vai-noris, Vai-norius, Vaiš-nora, Vaiš-noras, Vaiš-noris, Vais-norius (žr.); liet. avd. Lyg-noras (A. Salys, ten pat), pr. Waysnar || Wayssenore, Wissenor, Scmarie (R. Trautmann, ten pat, 147). Santykis tarp asmenvardžių, turinčių vieną iŠ dviejų sandų nar-, su asmenvardžiais, kurių vienas sandas yra nor-, neaiškus. T. y. tuo tarpu negalima tvirtai atsakyti, ar sandai nar- ir nor- yra skirtingos kilmės, arjie yra tarminiai, grafiniai variantai, atsiradę dėl analogijos, dėl slavinimo, dėl liaudies etimologijos ir pan. Kaip matyti ir iš pateiktų pavyzdžių, kai kurios pavardės tesiskiria šiais sandais (nar-, nor-): Ndr-butas : Nor-butas, Nar-buntas : Nor-buntas, Nar-būtas : Nor-būtas, Ndr-gela : Nor-gela, Nar-mantas : Nor-mantas, Norvaišas : Norvaišas, Narvidas : Nor-vidas, Nar-vydas : Norvydas, Narvilą : Norvilą, Narvilas : Norvilas, Bai-naras:Bai-noras, Bei-naras : Bei-noras, Dai-naras :Dai-noras, Daū-nara :Daunora ir kt. Ši aplinkybė lyg ir leistų įtarti, jog kalbamos pavardės gali būti vienos kilmės, tik jų sandai nar-, nor- yra įvairių dėsningų irnedėsningų transformacijų rezultatas. Tokiu atveju tektų sutikti sujau anksčiau kelta mintimi, jog pirmesnis šių sandų variantas yra nor-, kuris sietinas su liet. norėti, noras ir pan. (K. Būga, 1958, p. 236, 258, 135; A. Salys, ten pat; K. Kuzavinis, B. Savukynas, 1971, p > 123—124; Z. Zinkevičius, 1977, p. 177). Atskiro sando nar(i)išskyrimas (K. Kuzavinis, B. Savukynas, ten pat, 121) būtų labiau abejotinas. Dėl sando būt- (būt-) žr. Butautas

Where in the world
(measured from records)Narbutas counted together with the spellings and other-language forms grouped with it. Where a register counted another spelling, the row names it.
Sorted by bearers: national registers' counts, and Mondonomo's estimates (≈, est.) where no register counts.
Exact figures are national registers' own counts, while figures marked ≈ and est. are Mondonomo’s estimates, counted from our sources and calibrated against those registers; hover one for how far to trust it in that country. A dash means neither exists.

(living-population name counts); BFS — Familiennamen der Wohnbevölkerung (surnames). Figures without a register are Mondonomo estimates; see Methodology.

About this data

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.
