Hmingtluon (hmingtluon)

Hmingtluon is an open synthetic names dataset containing 10,193,568 (10.19 Million) unique Hmar full names, generated using rules built around traditional 3-part compound middle names, gender matching, and clan taxonomy classification.

It is maintained as part of the Hmar Heritage Archival Project by the Hmar Heritage Foundation.

Language & Clan Naming Note

All middle names and spellings in this dataset use standard Hmar (hmr).

Some clans listed in this dataset (such as Hrangkhol) historically have their own distinct languages or speech varieties. For clans that have their own language, native naming rules in that language can differ from Hmar grammar. In this dataset, we flatten all clan entries to follow conventional, standard Hmar naming rules.

For example, Hrangkhol names here do not use the Hrangkhol language; they use standard Hmar (hmr). At the same time, many Hrangkhol people do adopt standard Hmar names in everyday life, so these names are common and practical even if they do not reflect native Hrangkhol grammar. Because we do not know how many of the other cataloged clans actually have their own separate languages, keep in mind that this dataset applies standard Hmar conventions across all listed clans.
