https://doi.org/10.5878/s91g-y391

This dataset contains statistics on names (first names of women, first names of men, and last names) by country of birth. In total, there are 231,505 names by 202 countries. The data comes from Statistics Sweden's population statistics (name register) and refers to persons registered in Sweden on December 31st, 2020. However, some names are excluded due to confidentiality, such as names with fewer than five carriers. The data is licensed with Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) and may be used as long as Statistics Sweden is stated as the source. In this dataset, you will also find (in addition to the original data from Statistics Sweden) tidied data where the ISO code for each country has been added, as well as data in so-called wide format and long format to facilitate easier data processing. Please see the Swedish version of the post and the README file for more information about the data.
