Where Ember is officially recorded
4 official registrars have recorded Ember, between 1996 and 2025, in 24 of those 30 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Republic of Ireland | 1996–2025 | 5 | #534 in 1996 |
| England and Wales | 2000–2025 | 23 | #242 in 2025 |
| Northern Ireland | 2019–2024 | 3 | #266 in 2021 |
| Scotland | 2024 | 1 | #215 in 2024 |
Its high point came 29 years earlier in Republic of Ireland (1996) than in England and Wales (2025).
No registrar recorded it for 3 years after 1996; it appears again in 2000.

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.
