Advance Guatemala keeps the data point as the source published it: it does not compare it with other sources or apply the tolerance bands it uses for the site's verified figures.

Notes

It measures how present a name is in books, not anything about the place: names such as 'Guatemala' or 'Catarina' are also used in other senses. The search is for the exact phrase, case-sensitive and unsmoothed. Some names returned no data and one name longer than five words was not queried.
