Gender Guesser and our gender classification
Gender guesser, powered by Namsor name verification technology, is able to create gender classification from a list of names through multiple processing. Our software can classify names by gender, country of origin, ethnicity and even by diaspora. Our software supports many alphabets* and is able to process full names, first names and last names.
A gender determination based on artificial intelligence
Our artificial intelligence not only compares names from international databases but uses the morphology of names to estimate their origins. It is thanks to this technology that we can guess the gender of a first name, the gender of a nickname and the origin of a full name. Finally we can estimate the gender of a name in more than 22 different alphabets*.

The most complete gender classification in the world
The gender of a name is determined thanks to our artificial intelligence :
- enriched by one of the most complete databases in the world ;
- refined during numerous partnerships and research with universities (Harvard, Berkeley, HEC, ... ), scientific groups (The Lancet, Elsevier, ...), governmental and international institution (IOM, ONU, European Commission ...) and linguists, anthropologist and historians ;
- reinforced by more than 7 billion names processed.
