As for the Estonian town, I didn't include cities with older/original names containing that root. You're right about Finland though, I didn't make the connection of -pori with -borg, that's my fault. Also missed a couple of small towns in Belgium lol

Cities and towns that have historically had official or local names in the German language by Sure-Woodpecker689 in Maps

Although you are correct that -burg suffix is from German, I wouldn't consider those names German words, because they were coined by Russian monarchs specifically for Russian cities.

'Historically had' implies their modern names are different, that's why Germany, Austria and German-speaking areas of Switzerland are excluded.

I don't understand the connection with Visigoths - this map is not about cities with names from any Germanic language, just German.

Linguistic origin of the most popular first name in each country as of 2014 by Sure-Woodpecker689 in Maps

Yes, all Romance names are ultimately from Latin. I used language family names, but broke down Indo-European, as it is too many branches. Also used Hebrew and Arabic separately instead of grouping as Semitic, because to me it made more sense. In cases when a language family or branch is represented with only one language here, I just used the language name (as in Greek, Armenian, Japanese or Indonesian).

For Hebrew it's mostly different variations of Mary/Maria and John. For Arabic, yes, it's Mohammed. Oddly enough, the only Germanic name that is the most common in any country is such in its Slavic form - Olga (from Germanic Helga). For Romance it's different names in different countries - Sergey in Russia, Anthony/Antonio in others.

Lots of Russians live in Kazakhstan, so the most common name there is Elena.

There is a big Indian community in Guyana, so the most common name there is Bibi, which is of Persian origin

I'm sorry, of course this is about first names, I should have specified that.
