How many people with the name "Ramil Nassyrov" are there?

Why am I writing this? - You may ask. I am writing this to shed some light on the origins and commonality of my name for non-russian speakers / foreigners.

But first, let me introduce my background. I am Ramil Nassyrov ("Рамиль Насыров"), a Russian Java Developer with 5+ years of experience in my field. I graduated from Omsk National Technical University in 2017 and have been working as a developer since that year.


"Ramil Nassyrov" (Рамиль Насыров) is a very common name in Russian Federation and in the former Soviet Union countries. However, most of the people with this name don't have accounts in English. Instead, they typically use Russian. And if you don't know, Russian language uses cyrillic alphabet unlike English, which uses latin alphabet. And cyrillic alphabet is very different from the latin alphabet. The letters and sounds are quite different. Below, you can see the cyrillic alphabet and the latin alphabet below it.


English Alphabet

The russian translation of the name "Ramil Nassyrov" is "Рамиль Насыров". And if you search for it in russian, you will get way more results than you would get in English. A famous banker, scientists, doctors,  businessmen, developers, cypersports team leaders, sportsmen, religious leaders, managers and CEOs.


VK, Odnoklassniki, Facebook

And if you search for this name on the russian Facebook clone called vk.com (Вконтакте), you will find 300+ people with this name.

Below you can see the videos that I recorded, showing 300+ "Ramil Nassyrov" profiles on vk.com (russian Facebook) and 98 "Ramil Nassyrov" profiles on Facebook. Most of them are written in cyrillics, in Russian language ("Рамиль Насыров"). I hope this experiment of mine sheds some light to foreigners on how common / spread my name is in Russia.


There is also a less-known Russian Facebook called "Odnoklassniki" or OK. 

You can follow this link to search for people with this name on a public version of this website. Private version is displayed after you log in and it shows more results because some profiles are hidden for non-logged-in users. Here's the link  250+ people with name "Ramil Nassyrov" on OK.


Habr Career and Linkedin

Finally, here's a fun fact. Linkedin is blocked in Russia since 2016. Here's an article that from a major Russian news site Meduza that has more information about this. 

Nevertheless, I keep using it via VPN.
