Aleksandrs 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.

Aleksandrs by decade in Norway · 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 Aleksandrs is officially recorded

3 official registrars have recorded Aleksandrs, between 1961 and 2022, in 35 of those 62 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	1961–1992	21	#336 in 1987
England and Wales	2007–2022	14	#1796 in 2013
Republic of Ireland	2008–2013	3	#623 in 2011

Its high point came 26 years earlier in Norway (1987) than in England and Wales (2013).

No registrar recorded it for 14 years after 1992; it appears again in 2007.

What the record shows

Recorded by 3 registrars between 1961 and 2022, ranked in 35 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #336, first reached in 1987.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 13 births, registered in Norway in 1986.

Its record falls into 11 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 14 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2007, and 47 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.

Aleksandrs 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 Aleksandrs without appearing here.
