Isak vs Mattis
Isak and Mattiscompared 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

Isak and Mattis over time
Isak and Mattis appear together in 2 published lists, across 61 years of shared records. Isak held the stronger position in more years in 2 of them, Mattis in 0.
The order between them changed and held in 2 of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.
Mattis reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 2 of those lists, and Isak 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.
