Frequently asked questions

Is Ruman a male or female name?
Ruman 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.
How do you pronounce Ruman?
A machine transcription gives /ˈɹumən/ (IPA) for Hindi.
In which country does Ruman have the most bearers?
Mondonomo estimates about 5.6 thousand people named Ruman in Pakistan, more than in any other country we hold, where it is most often spelled ruman.
How common is the name Ruman?
In Sweden, the national register counted 26 people named Ruman, about 1 in 392 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.
