Registers cited: IBGE — Censo 2022 Nomes no Brasil per-token lookup (v3 API, given+surname); RENAPER — Apellidos (person counts, national); SSA — National Baby Names (1880–present); the xinhua-italian-manual register; BFS — Familiennamen der Wohnbevölkerung (surnames); Australian national given names (aggregated state BDM). Figures without a register are Mondonomo estimates; see Methodology.

Other names spelled this way(inferred from the name graph)

Poppi is also recorded as another name, grouped separately because the records behind them do not connect to the one described above.

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.
