Where in the world(measured from records)

Tr counted together with the spellings and other-language forms grouped with it. Where a register counted another spelling, the row names it.

Sorted by bearers: national registers' counts, and Mondonomo's estimates (≈, est.) where no register counts.

Exact figures are national registers' own counts, while figures marked ≈ and est. are Mondonomo’s estimates, counted from our sources and calibrated against those registers; hover one for how far to trust it in that country. A dash means neither exists.

Registers cited: SSA — National Baby Names (1880–present); IBGE — Censo 2022 Nomes no Brasil per-token lookup (v3 API, given+surname). Figures without a register are Mondonomo estimates; see Methodology.

Frequently asked questions

What does the name Tr mean, and where does it come from?
Abbreviation of translator. Recorded by kaikki.org Wiktionary extract (IPA + transliterations).
How do you pronounce Tr?
A machine transcription gives /tɹ/ (IPA) for English.
Is Tr a male or female name?
Tr is recorded for both men and women. We don't publish a percentage split: a record's gender belongs to the person and is attached to every given name on that record, so names in cultures where a name string also carries a parent's or spouse's given name pick up large cross-gender counts.
In which country does Tr have the most bearers?
Mondonomo estimates about 2.4 thousand people named Tr in the United States, more than in any other country we hold, where it is most often spelled tr.
How common is the name Tr?
Mondonomo estimates about 2,400 people in the United States have Tr as their first given name, about 1 in 141 thousand residents. No national register counts it there; the figure is ours, calibrated against the registers that do.

About this data

measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated

These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.

Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.

Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
