🇪🇬 Egyptian Names & Onomastic Intelligence Dataset

From 1.5M+ Raw National Records to an Empirical Onomastic and Linguistic Engine

This repository hosts the complete, multi-phase statistical and linguistic dataset powering egy-names, the production onomastic intelligence engine for contemporary Egyptian naming traditions.

📊 Dataset Pipeline Overview

Egyptian names follow an unbroken patronymic lineage chain ($Personal + Father + Grandfather + Ancestor + Family/Tribe$). This dataset provides the full transformation pipeline across all developmental phases:

[ Phase 0: 1.54M Raw Full Names ]
              │
              ▼
[ Phase 1: 6.9M Segmented Patronymic Tokens & Positions ]
              │
              ▼
[ Phase 2: 43.3K Unique Name Frequency Statistics ]
              │
              ▼
[ Phase 3: 8.6K+ Orthographic & Spelling Corrections ]
              │
              ▼
[ Phase 4: 33.1K Master Annotated Canonical Names ]
(Gender + Religion + 6-Slot Probabilities + Tashkeel + Meanings + Transliterations)

🚀 Quick Start with Hugging Face datasets

1. Load Final Canonical Master Dataset (Default)

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load 33,117 annotated canonical names
dataset = load_dataset("<YOUR_HF_USERNAME>/egyptian-names")
print(dataset["train"][0])

2. Load Raw Unprocessed Full Names (Phase 0 — 1.54M Records)

raw_dataset = load_dataset("<YOUR_HF_USERNAME>/egyptian-names", "phase0_raw")
print(f"Total raw names: {len(raw_dataset['train']):,}")
# Example: 'احمد باسم لينان محمد سليمان'

3. Load Segmented Patronymic Chains (Phase 1)

chains_dataset = load_dataset("<YOUR_HF_USERNAME>/egyptian-names", "phase1_segmented")
# Inspect token-by-token genealogical position
print(chains_dataset["train"][:3])

4. Load Unique Token Frequency Analysis (Phase 2)

freq_dataset = load_dataset("<YOUR_HF_USERNAME>/egyptian-names", "phase2_frequencies")
# Top names by frequency across the national corpus
print(freq_dataset["train"][:5])

5. Load Spelling & Typo Correction Rules (Phase 3)

corr_dataset = load_dataset("<YOUR_HF_USERNAME>/egyptian-names", "phase3_corrections")
# Map misspelling to canonical form: 'احمد مصطفا' -> 'أحمد مصطفى'
