GeoNames Monthly Diff Report (August 2022)

GeoIP2 and GeoLite2 databases incorporate GeoNames geographical data, which is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License.

Monthly updates to GeoNames data are incorporated into our databases as we refresh them. Above you will find a CSV report of these changes for the month of August as they relate to the following fields:

geoname_id
country_name
country_code
city_name
subdivision_1_iso_code
subdivision_2_iso_code

Note that the values for the ‘old’ and ‘new’ columns for a given field only differ for the field defined in the ‘diff_in’ column.

* This month’s update corrects an error in which several subdivisions in China had their names populated into the city_name field by error. The city_name field for these subdivisions has been removed.
