1. A computer program product embodied in a nontransitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving a first name;
tokenizing the first name into a first set of tokens;
normalizing at least some of the tokens in the first set of tokens;
tagging at least one token in the first set of tokens;
based at least in part on the tagging, determining that the received first name is a name of an individual; and
comparing the first name to a second name, wherein the comparing is based at least in part on the determination that the received first name is a name of an individual, wherein the second name is tokenized into a second set of tokens, wherein the comparing comprises executing a fuzzy-matching algorithm, and wherein executing the fuzzy-matching algorithm comprises:
identifying tokens common to both the first set of tokens and the second set of tokens; and
rotating at least one of the first set of tokens and the second set of tokens such that the identified tokens common to both the first set of tokens and the second set of tokens are in a same order in the first set of tokens and the second set of tokens.
