Database or List of English First and Last Names [closed]

Answer 1

The best source I have been able to find on this is the data provided by the social security administration - unlike the census data, they have first names for every year going back to ~1900.

Answer 2

I'm compiling a database that contains last names from a variety of different countries and cultures, the UK among them. The project and its datasets can be found here: https://github.com/enorvelle/NameDatabases^{(Dead: link, project and GitHub account)}

This seems to have migrated to github.com/smashew/NameDatabases. (Sole contributer "Erik Norvelle".)

Answer 3

The Census Bureau provides list of common surnames from the 2000 and 1990 censuses: http://www.census.gov/topics/population/genealogy/data/2000_surnames.html http://www.census.gov/topics/population/genealogy/data/1990_census/1990_census_namefiles.html

The 1990 census files also have lists of common male and female names.

Answer 4

Option 1) I uploaded Millions of people data into github which I crawled from different website and dumped from Google open dataset.

Google BigQuery Public Dataset: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/public-data/
