It happens because these words are also valid names.

For example https://verifier.globalnames.org/api/v1/verifications/Tsukada

The same problem happens with some geographical entities like America for example.

To avoid false positives we need to study contexts and apply machine learning techniques I guess.

Added https://github.com/gnames/gnfinder/issues/62 for name finding algorithm. If I add the names to grey dictionary, it should help to hide such stand-alone names from results.
