Frequently asked questions

Is Runya a male or female name?
Runya 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.

Mondonomo estimates about 42 people named รัญยา in Thailand, more than in any other country we hold.
Where is Runya most common?
Measured as a share of residents rather than as a count, Runya is densest in Costa Rica — about 1 in 2.5 million people — even though Thailand holds more of our records for it.
How common is the name Runya?
In Costa Rica, the national register counted 2 people named Runya, about 1 in 2.5 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.
