About the project

Name Atlas Lab

A focused collection of tools for exploring names with useful controls and honest source labels.

What we make

Generate first names, surnames, middle names, sibling candidates and author bylines. Look up published surname frequency and annual U.S. birth-name records. Every tool explains what its result means and where its underlying collection came from.

A generated full name combines separately published given-name and surname entries. It is an idea for a story or activity, not evidence about a real person. We do not assign ethnic origin, etymology, cultural compatibility, or current popularity from spelling alone.

How to give feedback

Tell us when a filter is confusing, a result looks wrong, or an explanation needs work. Email info@nameatlaslab.com. Messages are forwarded to the project owner’s private inbox; replies may arrive from a different email address.
