Frequency and Rank of First Names in Peru

Hoare, Rob

Description

Count of popularity of adult first names (forenames, given names) in Peru, from an approximately 7% sample of the adult population. In Peru, many people are registered as supporters of political parties, and their names are published by the Registro de Organizaciones Políticas. The lists include a DNI (national identity number) for each person to avoid duplicates. The 1,572,002 people on these lists (excluding the regional movements) represent around 7% of the adult population of Peru. The first and middle names have been sorted and counted (there are an average of 1.6 first names for each person). These 2,538,011 first (and middle) names represent 76,720 different names, most of which are infrequent. The file has been limited to names that occur ten or more times in the sample, which is 7,250 unique names (2,417,750 names, more than 95% of the total). Each row in the file contains the rank, a percentage of that name in the entire set of 2,538,011 names, a count of the times the name occurs in the sample, and the name.
