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.
Official popularity data is available for 6 regions, from 1945 to 2025. Highest recorded position: #31 in New South Wales, Australia in 1956. Source data last verified 2026-07-21.
