Namewise

Most popular baby names in Norway (1978)

The rankings exactly as Statistics Norway (SSB) published them for 1978. Norwaypublishes a girls' list and a boys' list separately, so they are shown separately — there is no official combined ranking, and Namewise does not invent one.

This source has published 81 complete rankings, from 1945 to 2025. Data sources · Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0)
