Name API

Clean up and parse personal names. The case endpoint applies proper name-casing that ordinary title-casing gets wrong — McDonald, MacLeod, O'Brien, D'Angelo, hyphenated double-barrelled names, lower-case particles (van, von, de, la, der) and Roman-numeral suffixes (II, III, IV). The parse endpoint splits a full name into salutation, first, middle and last name and suffix, and also returns a properly-cased version of each part. Perfect for tidying user sign-ups, CRM and mailing lists, deduplicating contacts, formatting names on documents and normalising imported data. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. Parsing is tuned for Western (given-name-first) order. Distinct from baby-name popularity data and locale display-name lookups.

Baby Names API

US given-name popularity from 1880 to 2008 as an API — the top 1,000 names per year for each sex (SSA-derived dataset, 6,782 names). Pull a name's full popularity trend (e.g. Emma → girls: rank #1 in 2008, peaked again in 1881), get the top names for any year (e.g. 1990 → Jessica, Ashley, Brittany), or search names by prefix/substring. Each data point carries the year, the share of births (percent and per-million) and the rank. Ideal for name-trend visualisations, baby-name apps, nostalgia/genealogy tools and data journalism.

Name Insights API

Enrich a first name with predicted gender, age and nationality — with confidence probabilities and an optional country bias for higher accuracy. One combined call returns all three. Ideal for CRM enrichment, personalization, form pre-fill, audience analytics and demographic segmentation.
