Contents The publication starts with a count of the most popular first names in Greenland and their distribution among generations (section 2). Statistics on middle names then follow (section 3) as well as a count of first and middle names taken as a whole (section 4) and a list of the most common last names (section 5). Next, the geographical distribution of names among districts is presented (section 6). Furthermore, two detailed tables show the distribution of names with respect to year of birth and locality (sections 7 and 8). Finally, statistics on names with the frequent Greenlandic suffixes, -raq and -nnguaq, are compiled (section 9). The method upon which the publication is based is finally described (section 10). An appendix contains an alphabetical list of names In an appendix, an alphabetical list of all first names in Greenland with a frequency of five or more is shown (section 11). Names as of 1 July 2011 Page 3 2. First Names Among living persons resident in Greenland and born in 2010 or before, the most popular first names in Greenland are Ane for women and Hans for men. Both names are much more common than number 2 on the lists: There are thus app. 45 per cent more women called Ane than Marie (690 compared to 475) and 25 per cent more men who are called Hans than Jens (988 compared to 789). Persons with the name of Ane amount to 2,6 per cent of the female population whereas persons called Hans amount to 3,3 per cent of the men. The 50 most common names and the number of persons bearing them are shown in table 1 (Gerth shares position 50 with Hendrik).

Ane is the number 1 name for women per decade of birth from the 20's up through the 80's. In the 90's however, Ane cedes the position to Paninnguaq (Greenlandic meaning "sweet, little daughter"). Paninnguaq has entered the list relatively quickly: Among women born in the 80's, the name was number 5 on the list and in the decades before the name was not among the ten most common names in Greenland. Similarly, Hans dominates all decades from the 20's up through the 80's with the 30's as an exception where Peter was the most common name given to persons living today. Among children born in the 90's Hans is the second-most popular name whereas Malik (Greenlandic for "wave"), entering the top 10 in the decade before, becomes the most popular name in the 90's and the first decade of the new century. A top 10 by decade of birth is shown in table 2.

As there is not an equal number of people born each decade, a ratio between the number of names and the birth-rate for the decade must be calculated if one wishes to compare the relative frequency of a name. Among the most popular names for boys for 2001-2010, Inuk shares position number 10 with Ivik. Names as of 1 July 2011 Page 5 3. Middle Names Among the middle names, Marie and Peter are the most popular but Ane and Hans, the most widely used first names are also to be found as middle names with 523 and 665 occurrences respectively. This means that 1.213 women in Greenland have Ane as their first or middle name, equivalent to about 4,6 per cent of the population. Correspondingly, 1.653 men have the name Hans as their first or middle name. This amounts to 5,5 per cent of the male population. The name of the first missionary in Greenland was, by the way, Hans. A list of the 50 most common middle names by gender appears in table 3. Birgithe and Maria share the position as number 50.

This holds true for 91,7 per cent of the women and 89,8 per cent of the men. Two women and six men have one first name and no less than seven middle names and a last name as is shown in the table below. Table 4 Number of Middle Names. 1 July 2011 0 middle names 1 middle name 2 middle names 3 middle names 4 middle names 5 middle names 6 middle names 7 middle names Women In per cent Men In per cent 2 199 5 730 7 880 8 027 2 430 252 22 2 8,3 21,6 29,7 30,2 9,2 0,9 0,1 0,0 3 037 6 970 8 439 8 679 2 437 258 28 6 10,2 23,3 28,3 29,1 8,2 0,9 0,1 0,0 On average, girls and women have – not counting the first name – 2,14 middle names, whereas boys and men have 2,05 middle names, as is shown in the table below.

As can be seen below, the number of middle names for girls and women reaches a maximum in the period from 1921-1930 with 2,67 middle names on average whereas the average number of middle names for boys and men reaches a climax for people born between 1931 and 1940 with 2,68 middle names on average.

First and Middle Names If each person's first and middle names are counted and these are added for all of the population, a total number of names can be calculated. 26.542 girls and women thus have 83.239 names while 29.854 boys and men have 90.987 names. If all names are thus considered as one pool of names, the top 50 of names changes as Marie and Peter become more popular names than Ane and Hans, now taking up second position on the lists as is shown in the table below.

Last Names Hans is popular but Egede as a last name is only number 19 on the list of most common last names in Greenland. 547 persons have Egede as their last name. The unavoidable number one on the list is Petersen, a name by which 2.134 persons, or 3,8 per cent, in Greenland call themselves. Jensen, the most common last name in Denmark, is number three. A list of Greenlandic last names appears in table 7.

Geographical Distribution of First and Last Names Even though Greenland is a geographically extensive, there seems to be wide-spread agreement about preferring Ane and Hans as first names. These two names are namely number one in 12 and 11 out of 18 districts respectively, although not in the same. Both names are, however, number one in the district of Nuuk with 156 and 246 persons respectively. In two of three southern districts, Marie has gained ground. The most popular names by district are shown in table 8.

As there is not an equal number of people living in all districts, a ratio between the number of names and the number of inhabitants must be calculated if one wishes to compare the relative frequency of a name. Names as of 1 July 2011 Page 10 7. First and Last Names through the Years Table 9 below shows the changes in naming customs over 70 years as it has been counted which name is most popular by year of birth for persons living today. As can be seen, Paninnguaq and Malik have become popular first names in recent years, while Ane and Hans are more frequent number one names for somewhat older generations.

As there is not an equal number of people born each year, a ratio between the numbers and the number of inhabitants must be calculated if one wishes to compare the relative frequency of a name. As it is possible to take out one name of the data, one can follow the trends and see how many persons from the population living today bear a given name. Taking the two most popular first names in Greenland and the most widely used last name, it is evident that Ane and Hans were particularly popular for persons born from the late 50's to the early 70's whereas the last name which is typically a matter of "inheritance" is less subject to changes in naming customs.

Names as of 1 July 2011 Page 12 8. First and Last Names by Locality Table 10 below shows geographical variations in naming more specifically. As the population in some localities is very small, tendencies in numbers should be interpreted with caution. Among the first names, Ane and Hans are used in a large number of places whereas the count of last names can show some families' ties to specific localities. There are 432 persons by the name of Olsen, for instance, in Sisimiut.

As there is not an equal number of people living in all localities, a ratio between the number of names and the number of inhabitants must be calculated if one wishes to compare the relative frequency of a name. Names as of 1 July 2011 Page 13 9. Special Greenlandic First Names The Greenlandic diminutives, -raq and -nnguaq, both meaning "sweet, little", can be connected with girl's names, as in Najaaraq and Sofiannguaq, and with boy's names, as in Oleraq and Inunnguaq. A count shows that names with these suffixes are common all over the country although there are still differences in the percentage of the population bearing these names. Thus the name for more than one in ten persons in Qaanaaq ends in -nnguaq with 12,6 per cent of the women and 10,4 per cent of the men as can be seen in the table below. 1.057 girls and women have a first name ending in -raq whereas the number is 1.865 with regard to the nnguaq-suffix. For the male part of the population the numbers are 1.244 and 1.393 respectively.

The bearers of the names, however, are relatively young, cf. the chart below. When a certain occurrence of raq-names in the 50's is disregarded, it is evident that this naming custom is more prevalent among people born in the late 70's and early 80's. The home rule was, as is well known, introduced in 1979.

As there is not an equal number of people born each year, a ratio between the numbers and the number of inhabitants must be calculated if one wishes to compare the relative frequency of the names. Names as of 1 July 2011 Page 14 10. Method Data as of 1 July 2011 The information on names is based on data from the population register of Statistics Greenland. The name counts are gender specific; names being used by both men and women are counted separately. Should the civil registration number on which the information about gender is based be erratic, this will as a consequence influence the counts. The statistics include all persons resident in Greenland as of 1 July 2011 but excludes persons born in 2011. This design has been chosen in order to have as complete information on the stock of names as possible since the Name Act requires that a child is given a name no later than six months after birth. Thus, all persons born in 2010 and before should, in theory, have a name by 1 July 2011. Definitions The first name is defined as the first name of given names. Two names connected by a hyphen are considered one unique name. If the first name can be spelled in more than one way, these variations are considered unique names. Dorte and Dorthe are thus two distinct names. Middle names are defined as the second of given names. If the name consists of a first name and a last name, this person has no middle name by definition. The geographically based counts are based on districts which correspond to the former municipalities (from before the municipal reform which came into effect on 1 January 2009). Names as of 1 July 2011 Page 15 11. Appendix There are 3.790 different girl's names and 3.549 different boy's names in use as a first name in Greenland. Many names have relatively low frequencies; there are thus 3.125 different girl's names and 2.901 different boy's names having frequencies of four or less. The more frequently used names (five or more persons) and the year of birth of the oldest the year of the youngest bearer are shown in the table below.
