A script is only the writing system for the name. It says nothing about the religion, ethnicity or background of anyone who bears the name. These are the native-script spellings recorded in our data, collected from Wiktionary, kaikki.org and Wikidata name labels (see our methodology). Only 28 records link a source for the script spelling itself. We do not convert letters automatically, so names without a recorded spelling are not listed here.
