Identifying Titles in Global Name Data
We have updated our NameAPI database with titles from more than 80 cultures. Our services identify and classify academic degrees, official positions, military ranks, and religious honorifics when they appear in a name. With more than 2,340 titles, our database provides reliable, manually researched coverage.
For example, here are 10 languages that include titles related to the German word "Graf": Kreivi (Finnish) • Grafas (Lithuanian) • Hrabia (Polish) • Gróf (Hungarian) • Krahv (Estonian) • Greifi (Icelandic) • Greve (Norwegian) • Gravos (Greek) • Grafi (Georgian) • Graaf (Dutch)
We continue to expand our database, making NameAPI even more powerful for international name parsing.
