Jahn by decade in Norway · Boys

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 1 registrar between 1945 and 1999, ranked in 49 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #207, first reached in 1946.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 22 births, registered in Norway in 1968.

Its record falls into 7 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 1 year.

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.

Jahn was ranked #207 in Norway · Boys in 1946. 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.

Jahn 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 Jahn without appearing here.
