Data source for names demography analysis?

Question

I'm looking for datasets allowing one to map names (given names, family names) to geographical locations. So far, the best source I've found is Wiki/DBpedia with ~ 1 million records, and Web Of Science Author names and geolocation of their affiliation.

Is there any other source I could use or someone can think of?

Please look at this question and other question with the [tag:names] tag. — Stanislav Kralin, Jul 05 '17 at 19:07

The Dutch Central Bureau for Genealogy has an interface where you can type a family name and it will show the geographical distribution of that name throughout the Netherlands. You can also enter a single letter and search for names containing that letter, so with some scraping you should be able to get quite a bit of data. You can find the search interface here: http://www.cbgfamilienamen.nl/nfb/index.php?taal=eng

The Social Security Administration in the U.S. publishes state-level baby names data since 1910. You could do a state-to-state comparison.
