NameProfiler: Name Parser

You are here: Home / /

The name parser identifies partial names from a full name or address line:

Given name (William)
Family name (Clinton)
Title (President)
Nickname (Bill)
Salutation (Mr)
Qualifier (Junior)

Cultural differences can make this process especially difficult. The "last name" can occur first, a given name can be used as last name, first names can be of different gender depending on language, and sometimes there are many possible answers.

In many Arabic speaking countries there is no "last name". Arabs can be known and called in different ways, and so their names require a separate parsing.

After extracting the partial names, other software like Name-Profiler can be used to discover more information about the person, like gender, geographical origin, language, and age.» Contact

One of them is that a name has to specify a gender. If a given name is one that can be of either gender, such as Sasha, then a second given name must be chosen which clarifies it - one with a clear gender, such as Peter. An example would be the name Sasha Peter Schmidt.
