Based on 15,465 names whose origin the model can place; 49,173 names common to many countries are counted but not assigned.
Read with care. In Jordan, about 57% of the estimated name origins point to other countries. Where a population was built by immigration, much of that is simply what its names' ancestry is: it is not a count of migrants. The estimate is also adjusted toward the nationalities Jordan's register records, and registers that record nationality mainly for foreigners pull it further abroad.
Abroad, 133,167 people from Jordan are documented in 185 other countries.

Jordan's company register lists 74,829 officer rows, 6,634 with a stated nationality (self-stamp rate 0.97; above 0.98 the field is ignored as it only repeats the register's own country).
Counts are people with a documented cross-border move: an official register's nationality or birthplace, ORCID/VIAF/Wikidata records, or a dated study-then-work transition. Name-based estimates and heritage (ancestral) readings are not included in these counts. Groups under 5 people are folded into "Other".
