Abstract: Embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for foreign organization name matching. Aspects include receiving a first entity name from a first database configured in a first language and receiving a second database, wherein the second database includes a plurality of entity names in a second language, wherein the first and second languages are different. Aspects also include performing an Internet search based on the first entity name, wherein a language setting of the Internet search is configured to the second language and identifying a list of candidate names based on a set of results from the Internet search. Another aspect includes filtering the list to obtain a resulting candidate name and determining whether the resulting candidate name matches one of the entity names in the second database. Aspects include associating the first entity name and a matching entity name in the second database based on the determination.
