  In this study, a new R package, \texttt{rethnicity} is provided for
predicting ethnicity based on names. The Bidirectional LSTM and Florida Voter
Registration were used as the model and training data, respectively. Special
care was given for the accuracy of minority groups, by adjusting the imbalance
in the dataset. The models were trained and exported to C++ and then integrated
with R using Rcpp. Additionally, the availability, accuracy, and performance of
the package were compared with other solutions.
