Can you actually search names by country? It looks like you have to type in a first name as well as last name.

Yes, you must search a first and last name. One cannot search simply for Winthrop. The transfer list allows you to search by nation, but I'm not sure if that fits exactly what you want.

The Americans who play in Philippines aren't Philippines citizens, but I expect they have a very good visa, the kind I want. Same for Yao Ming , but I don't need to discuss his status. A majority of my peers would try to give him American citizenship even if he refused it.

Well, I am not arguing that, but I haven't found a player with a last name of Chiu from China. That's all.

Some nations have a high ratio of multicultural names and others are homogenous for their native names. I wonder what data BB uses to create their name databases?

they try to use official data bases, so in germany there would be more turkish names and less from algerique.

In France they are more names from algerique, marocco etc.

as kozlo write, for foreign player names they use name datas from this countries. So if you have a an american kids with chinese (grand) parents, the names comes from the chinese data base.
