Dunbar
East Lothian town
Dunbar most often appears in *Dunbar's number*, a theoretical limit (around 150) on the number of stable social relationships a person can maintain.
The concept comes from anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who proposed that human brain size constrains meaningful social connections: Once a company exceeds Dunbar's number, communication breaks down.
As a proper noun, Dunbar is also a surname and place name.
