Overview

Randomized trial uncovers cultural dynamics in baby naming across Türkiye, indicating complex geospatial influences.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the relationship between baby naming practices and geographical factors in Türkiye using quantitative techniques.
  • Applied computational techniques to a dataset of prevalent baby names in Türkiye.
  • Utilized unsupervised machine learning for clustering analysis with K-means, K-medoids, Gaussian mixture models, and spectral clustering.
  • Integrated clustering with principal component analysis on provincial name distributions to identify geo-cultural patterns.
  • Name distributions are influenced by geographic heterogeneity, not random.
  • Cultural clusters revealed related connotations, like nature-inspired names corresponding with specific regions.
  • A significant association found between identified cultural clusters and regional political preferences.
