Alfred vs Avraham

Alfred and Avrahamcompared on official birth-registration statistics and Namewise's recorded data. This page states what each name's record shows — it never picks a winner or scores one name against the other.

Head to head

Ranks are only compared within one published list and one year. Two ranks from different years, from a boys' and a girls' list, or from different registrars are not comparable, so they are not placed side by side.

  • England and Wales · Boys

    In 2024, Alfred was ranked #81 and Avraham #3688 among boys in England and Wales.

Alfred and Avraham over time

Alfred and Avraham appear together in 1 published list, across 27 years of shared records. Alfred held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Avraham in 0.

In none of those lists did their order change and stay changed.

Avraham reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Alfred in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.

Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
