ArchivesLooking for multisource names
Hi! I'm wondering, is there a way, when looking up names of a particular origin, to filter in multiple origins? I know there's names that are used by several languages, like Marie, so the question is how to look for those types of names.

You can search for names that are two particular usages.
1. Go to https://www.behindthename.com/names/search
2. Make sure the advanced form options are shown: If there is a "More Options" button in the lower right, then press it.
3. Expand the section that says "Usage, language or place".
4. Beside "Usage", change the operator to "is all of".
5. Select two or more of the options from the list. If you are doing this on a computer you may have to hold down a command key to select multiple options.
6. Press "search" -> https://www.behindthename.com/names/browse.php?operator_usage=isall&value_usage[]=french&value_usage[]=german
Hope that helps!
