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.

Read postExpanded Hungarian Coverage in the NameAPI Database
Few European naming traditions pack as much structure into a name as Hungarian. Besides using the Eastern name order — the family name comes first, the given name second, Hungarian routinely folds honorifics, marital status, and generational markers directly into the name string. That makes accurate parsing both a challenge and a rewarding one, and we've expanded our NameAPI database to meet it.
