Aren vs Yassin
Aren and Yassincompared 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.

Aren and Yassin over time
Aren and Yassin appear together in 1 published list, across 26 years of shared records. Yassin held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Aren in 0.
The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.
Yassin reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Aren 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.
