Recorded by 1 registrar between 1996 and 2024, ranked in 19 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #1,425, first reached in 2000.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 9 births, registered in England and Wales in 2000.

Its record falls into 7 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 3 years.

Mahfuz 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 Mahfuz without appearing here.
