Editorial policy

The rules we follow

  • We describe names, not people. We never link a name to anyone’s ethnicity, religion or caste.
  • Dialect and origin labels describe the spelling or the word behind a name.
  • We do not invent meanings, etymologies, popularity figures or people.
  • Every meaning found by research is shown with its source.
  • Popularity figures come only from named official data: JPN via data.gov.my.
  • Names whose meaning is uncertain are still published with the facts we have.

Corrections

If you find a mistake, please report a correction with a source. We correct entries when a source supports the change.
