Goy is the plain Hebrew word for a nation, and the Torah uses it of Israel itself — a great nation, a holy nation. It stands here as a name because Bereshit calls Tidal king of Goyim, king of the peoples, and the Prophets use the word the same way of a coalition of nations.

Every name in the full list is a word our corpus tags as a proper noun in the Westminster Leningrad Codex morphology, grouped so that בית לחם counts as one name and not two. What each one is — a person, a place, a people — is read from the lexicon's own definition, and where that definition names two senses the row says so. The gematria is computed by the same engine that runs every search, and the count on each row is the number of verses that door opens — the same walk, counted once.
