Arild vs Jahn

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.

• Norway · Boys

  In 1999, Arild was ranked #211 and Jahn #557 among boys in Norway.

Arild and Jahn over time

Arild and Jahn appear together in 1 published list, across 49 years of shared records. Arild held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Jahn in 0.

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

Jahn reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Arild 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.
