What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 2013 and 2024, ranked in 12 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #811, first reached in 2024.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 46 births, registered in England and Wales in 2024.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2022, and 9 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.

Alaiya was ranked #811 in England and Wales · Girls in 2024. 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.

Alaiya 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 Alaiya without appearing here.
