What the record shows

Recorded by 1 registrar between 1967 and 1992, ranked in 26 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #231, first reached in 1975.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 22 births, registered in Norway in 1975.

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.

Dainius 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 Dainius without appearing here.
