Checked this for Finland. I doubt the two top are correct associations.

Kallio does not always refer to person, but is word for visible rock in ground or in mountain. Same goes for kivi which is also a rock. These are for reason common enough surnames. With some famous people associated with them.

Third one Mannerheim is the real winner.

So I could guess there is same issue in also other places.

Of course there are issues and limitation. I am only 99% confident in my own country and culture (Romania). That's what we've learnt in school, that is what we know. There is also a strong German and French influence so those names I've heard as well. This is still just a one-man project.

I can warmly invite you to contribute to the github project. Feel free to open a PR. I value the knowledge of natives more than my own. I often time can only guess.

Thank you for your comment.
