Meaning & origin(measured from records)
Les Titans étaient les douze enfants du Ciel et de la Terre. Révoltés, ils se battirent contre Zeus (Jupiter chez les Romains) qui les vainquit. Certains furent précipités aux Enfers, d’autres se soumirent à Zeus. Les combats des Titans sont souvent comparés, voire confondus avec ceux des Géants. On les compare parfois à la lutte de la Justice (représentée par Zeus) contre les forces instinctives (les Titans). Titan est employé pour désigner un personnage très fort. On l’associe surtout à travail pour parler d’une tâche hors du commun : un travail de titan. Comme le mot géant, titan a plusieurs dérivés : titane, titanesque, titanique, titanisme et, bien sûr, le célèbre Titanic !

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.
