People's Names: A Cross-Cultural Reference Guide to the Proper Use of Over 40,000 Personal and Familial Names in Over 100 Cultures - Actually over 80,000, with some chapters uncountable because they are based on how to create names from roots (title estimate based on original proposal). Contemporary names from around the entire planet come first, followed by historical periods and cultures, back to the earliest, Sumerian and Hindu. This began life as 'How to Name the Character.' Not only is this the only naming book an author requires for an average career (others are icing), but the best: the largest multi-cultural name book published. It gives all the rules of how names are properly ordered (not just American style "personal first, family last") with tons of family names which baby name books never have and authors need, besides lots of extras, from titles of nobility to whether or not the names in an ethnic group are gendered and how.
