英格兰和威尔士名字使用频率的长期趋势
Long-Term Trends in Given Name Frequencies in England and Wales
摘要：
个人名字的频率分布为信息经济提供了重要证据。本文介绍了在英格兰和威尔士在过去的一千年中最常见的个人名字（名字）的流行程度的数据。名称的流行度是其相对于采样的名称实例总数的频率。数据显示，名字的流行度分布，就像与信息经济相关的其他符号和人工制品的流行度一样，可以被视为幂律。此外，关于名字受欢迎程度的数据表明，信息经济中历史上独特的变化与工业革命同时发生。
英文摘要：
The frequency distribution of personal given names offers important evidence about the information economy. This paper presents data on the popularity of the most frequent personal given names (first names) in England and Wales over the past millennium. The popularity of a name is its frequency relative to the total name instances sampled. The data show that the popularity distribution of names, like the popularity of other symbols and artifacts associated with the information economy, can be helpfully viewed as a power law. Moreover, the data on name popularity suggest that historically distinctive changes in the information economy occurred in conjunction with the Industrial Revolution.
