Name type recognition - Recognize the type of a proper noun
Namsor provides a specialized proper name type recognition tool. It is trained to analyse proper names and infer if they are personal names (anthroponym), brand names, geographic names (toponym) or alias (pseudonym).
Estimate the name typebased on a proper noun
Analyzes a proper noun to identify the most likely name type (anthroponym, brand name, toponym). Specify a local context to improve accuracy of name type estimation.
Use our name type recognition tool, available via API or an intuitive interface, to determine whether a given name is most likely a personal name, a company name, or another type of entity. Here's how it works:
Name type (anthroponym, brand name, pseudonym, toponym) Identifies the most probable name type linked to the provided proper noun.
Alt. name type (anthroponym, brand name, pseudonym, toponym) Identifies the second most likely name type linked to the provided proper noun.
Script (Latin, Cyrillic, etc.) Detects the script used, offering linguistic and cultural insights.
What is the type of a proper noun

An anthroponym is a name of a person, especially a surname or a full name (first and last name).
A brand name is the name used to identify a specific company, organization, service or product.
A toponym is a proper name designating a place. It serves as a geographical and spatial landmark.
A pseudonym is a fictitious name or alias used by an individual to conceal their real identity.
