Irha across 2 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.

Irha 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.

Where Irha is officially recorded

3 official registrars have recorded Irha, between 2008 and 2025, in 15 of those 18 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
England and Wales	2008–2025	15	#272 in 2025
Republic of Ireland	2018–2025	6	#413 in 2025
Scotland	2024	1	#431 in 2024

No registrar recorded it for 3 years after 2008; it appears again in 2012.

What the record shows

Recorded by 3 registrars between 2008 and 2025, ranked in 15 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #272, first reached in 2025.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 169 births, registered in England and Wales in 2025.

Its record falls into 2 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 3 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2018, and 16 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.

Irha 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 Irha without appearing here.
