Figures belong to this registrar alone and do not carry to another.

What the record shows

Recorded by 1 registrar between 1945 and 1969, ranked in 25 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #135, first reached in 1945.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 39 births, registered in Norway in 1945.

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.

Brith was ranked #135 in Norway · Girls in 1945. These are the names immediately either side of it on that published list — a fact about the registrar's own output, not a similarity judgement.

Brith 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 2,573 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Brith without appearing here.
