Namae scores any name across 65 languages and shows a world map of how well it travels — pronunciation, meaning, culture, and script, in a single number.
Namae is a free tool that checks how a name works around the world. Type any name and Namae scores it across 65 languages, then paints a world map of compatibility. There is no signup and no AI — the scoring is transparent and rule-based, and it runs entirely in your browser, so the name you type never leaves your device.
The Name Universality Index is a 0–100 score for how well a name travels globally. It is the weighted average of four axes — pronunciation (30%), meaning safety (35%), cultural fit (20%), and script support (15%) — computed for each of 65 languages and then averaged worldwide.

Namae computes a Name Universality Index (NUI) from 0 to 100 — the weighted average of four axes (pronunciation, meaning safety, cultural fit, and script support) across 65 languages. Each language is scored separately, then averaged into one global number and a letter grade.
Yes. Namae is completely free, with no signup and no account required. You can compare two names or score any single name instantly.
No. Namae's scoring is rule-based and transparent — no AI or machine learning. The rules (phonotactics, a vulgar-word list, cultural flags, and script support) run entirely in your browser.
The 65 languages span every major writing system and cover most of the world's population, so one score reflects how a name works across very different linguistic and cultural contexts.
No. Everything is computed in your browser. The name you type is never transmitted to or stored on a server — see our privacy page.
