How rare is your name?
Checks a live global name database first, with a curated multilingual list as backup for Korean, Chinese, and Japanese names (type the full name — surname and given name together — for those).
How this works
We check your name against genderize.io, a public database of real name records drawn from millions of profiles worldwide, and use how many records it has for that exact name as our main signal — more real-world records means more common. This works best for names written in the Latin alphabet.
For Korean, Chinese, and Japanese names — which that global database mostly doesn't cover in native script — we fall back to our own curated list of common given names and surnames, combining the two for a full-name estimate. If a name isn't in either source, we estimate conservatively from similarly-spelled names rather than guessing it's average. Either way, this is for fun, not an official statistic.
