Overview

The Global Name Cloud API takes full names and optionally a Country as input and uses intelligent recognition to identify over 6,000,000 last names and 4,000,000 first names across different countries and languages. Global Name is used to validate and parse the names of people and businesses. Use this API at the point of entry to detect vulgarities and suspicious names and prevent them from entering the Database.

Global Name can be used to:

Parse full names into first, middle and last names, as well as prefixes like “Dr.” and suffixes like “Jr.”
Correct misspelled first names
Flag vulgar and obviously fake names, such as “Bugs Bunny.”
Split dual names (ex. Mr and Mrs John and Mary Jones)
Assign gender based on known first names and prefixes.
Output preferred output Salutation name parts.
Standardize company names
