HelpRe: A few tecincal questions regarding this website
in reply to a message by (Is-rah-el) Israelle
Hi Israella,
The collection of names on this site is divided into three types: given names, surnames, and place names. Surnames and place names show on surnames.behindthename.com and places.behindthename.com respectively, while the given names are on the www site. Technically speaking, they are all the same site, with the subdomain just indicating which type of names to show. Does that answer your question?
I have added a setting to display the notes. It's under the "Name Definition Pages" heading here: https://www.behindthename.com/members/edit.php?page=settings
(admins: you will not see this setting since the notes are already displayed for you automatically)

thank you, I should've explained it more clearly, I wanted to know how the given name search setting per place works, for example, I tried to look for Bolivian names so I set the place on Bolivia. My question is how does the website label this name as Bolivian although it's not listed as such on popularity lists or in the usage category?
thank you, I was about to ask about the option of making notes displayable for users of the website

Ah, I misunderstood. For the Bolivian search, the site knows that the predominant usages that apply to Bolivia are Spanish, Quechua and Aymara, so it uses that information to find names that are categorized as such.
