Where Janine is officially recorded
5 official registrars have recorded Janine, between 1955 and 2025, in 60 of those 71 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| New South Wales, Australia | 1955–1975 | 20 | #65 in 1972 |
| New Zealand | 1958–1978 | 21 | #31 in 1969 |
| Republic of Ireland | 1967–2003 | 29 | #203 in 1988 |
| England and Wales | 1996–2025 | 19 | #820 in 1997 |
| Northern Ireland | 1997 | 1 | #271 in 1997 |
Its high point came 28 years earlier in New Zealand (1969) than in England and Wales (1997).
No registrar recorded it for 7 years after 2013; it appears again in 2021.

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.
