Apryl by decade in England and Wales · Girls

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.

What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 1990 and 2021, ranked in 19 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #517, first reached in 1990.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 8 births, registered in England and Wales in 2017.

Its record falls into 8 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 5 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 1996, and 6 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.

Apryl was ranked #517 in Republic of Ireland · Girls in 1990. 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.

Apryl 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 Apryl without appearing here.

Absence from a specific year or geography above does not prove zero use there either; official statistics only publish names above a minimum threshold.
