Lukas vs Vegard
Lukas and Vegard compared 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.
Norway · Boys
In 2025, Lukas was ranked #35 and Vegard #219 among boys in Norway.
Lukas and Vegard over time
Higher on the chart is a stronger position. The scale is logarithmic, so the gap from #1 to #10 is drawn as large as the gap from #100 to #1,000.
Lukas and Vegard over time
Lukas and Vegard appear together in 1 published list, across 48 years of shared records. Vegard held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Lukas 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.
Vegard reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Lukas 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.
