Namewise

First recorded in the 1940s

Names whose earliest ranking in Namewise's registrar data falls between 1940 and 1949.

First recorded in Namewise's current registrar data — never when a name was invented, first used, or first existed. Norway publishes from 1945 and Scotland from 2014, so an early first record means an early-publishing source as much as an established name. There is no 2020s band: a name first recorded in the 2020s cannot yet have the ten-year span the evidence bar requires.
