It means out of 600 domain extensions (endings), that many percentage of endings were registered using the same name. The more endings were registered with the same name, the more popular that name is.
So by endings you mean TLDs? And by “X% of endings were registered with the word Y” you mean “X% of all TLDs have ‘Y’ registered” or “‘Y’ is already registered with X% of all TLDs”?
I don't think it's the word "ending" so much as the grammar. It sounds like you mean the word N was registered with a certain percentage of endings, whereas you say a certain percentage of endings were registered with the word N.
It seems "domain ending" might be a somewhat common way to describe a TLD in lay terms. That said, I am a geek and a curmudgeon, so I still think writing out top-level domain makes the most sense in such a context.
Or “extension”. Right, while “domain ending”… makes sense… I’ve never heard anybody use that phrasing. Why write in lay terms on a feed about domain names available for purchase?

What do the stats about “endings” mean?

Hope that makes sense

It doesn’t make sense without an explanation.
Thanks for letting me know. I didn't realized using "endings" can be confusing, will look into it.

Nice, thanks for the suggestion and explanation. I'll be careful!
