Adem across 3 official records

Each registrar publishes its own list, so these figures are read down a row, never across one. A position in one country is not comparable with a position in another, and Namewise never combines them into a single ranking. The birth counts do not compare across rows either, for a different reason: England and Wales registers roughly thirty times as many births a year as Northern Ireland, so a larger total says which registrar recorded it as much as how widely the name was given.

Adem by decade in England and Wales · Boys

Births registered with the name in each decade of this one list, with the number of years the list covers in that decade. Bars are scaled on births a year, which is the figure that compares between decades — a decade the list only partly covers has a smaller total without being a quieter decade. Figures belong to this registrar alone and do not carry to another.

Where Adem is officially recorded

3 official registrars have recorded Adem, between 1962 and 2025, in 45 of those 64 years. Each registrar publishes for its own population on its own methodology, so the positions below are each one country's own ranking and are not comparable with one another.

Registrar	Recorded	Years	Its own highest position
Norway	1962–2024	30	#368 in 2019
England and Wales	1996–2025	30	#653 in 2006
Republic of Ireland	2011–2024	5	#699 in 2015

Its high point came 13 years earlier in England and Wales (2006) than in Norway (2019).

No registrar recorded it for 8 years after 1962; it appears again in 1971.

What the record shows

Recorded by 3 registrars between 1962 and 2025, ranked in 45 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #368, first reached in 2019.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 42 births, registered in England and Wales in 2006.

Its record falls into 10 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 8 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 1996, and 49 years separate the first registrar to record it from the last.

Every figure here is counted from the seven official registrars Namewise holds. A position is only ever a place within the list that published it, and a record that thins or stops is a fact about what registrars printed — never about how many children received the name.

Adem and the names beside it

Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale, in the same year, by the same registrar — so these are positions that genuinely passed each other, not a similarity judgement. Drawn from the 2,577 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Adem without appearing here.

Absence from this list does not mean the name isn't genuinely meaningful or widely used — only that Namewise hasn't sourced and reviewed that content yet. Absence from a specific year or geography above does not prove zero use there either; official statistics only publish names above a minimum threshold.
