Martine vs Åse

Martine and Åsecompared 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 · Girls

    In 2025, Martine was ranked #124 and Åse #93 among girls in Norway.

Martine and Åse over time

Martine and Åse appear together in 1 published list, across 56 years of shared records. Martine held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Åse in 0.

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

Åse reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Martine 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.
