Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a reply take?
We reply to every message within 2 business days. Guide requests go into our editorial queue and are answered with an expected research date.
Can I request a specific name meaning?
Absolutely — most of our guides start as reader requests. Choose 'Request a name meaning guide' in the form and tell us the name or meaning you're looking for.
How do I report a mistake?
Choose 'Suggest a correction' and include the guide URL plus what needs fixing — with a source if you have one. Corrections are reviewed by our lead researcher and logged.
Do you accept guest posts or partnerships?
We occasionally collaborate with linguists, genealogists, and cultural organizations. Write to us with your credentials and proposal under 'Partnership / press.'
