1. A method for identifying related names, comprising: storing, using a processor of a computer, a collection of names from different languages, wherein each of the names has a native orthographic form and a romanized form; receiving an input name in a known encoding scheme; determining an alphabet of the input name based on the known encoding scheme; generating one or more romanized names based on the query name and the determined query name alphabet; applying culture-sensitive regularization rules to create an additional romanized name; matching the one or more romanized names and the additional romanized name against the romanized names in the collection of names from the different languages; and returning data store records that have romanized names that match the one or more romanized names or the additional romanized name.
