How to read it

Small numbers move fast: a word that appears in 18 new names can show a four-figure rise if it barely appeared before. A jump can come from a single group of related companies registered together. So treat the list as a set of leads, not proof of a movement, and click through to see the companies behind each word.

One caution about this month: our live feed started on 09/10/2026, and companies registered between 01/09 and 08/10 aren't in our database yet, so the last 30 days hold fewer names than usual (26,721). Rates are per 10,000 names, so they stay comparable.
