Jett appears in 4 of the published lists Namewise holds. The longest record is England and Wales · Boys, which has ranked it in 28 years beginning in 1997, and has registered 1,025 births with the name.

Jett across 4 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.

Jett by decade in England and Wales · 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.

Where Jett is officially recorded

5 official registrars have recorded Jett, between 1997 and 2025, in 28 of those 29 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	1997–2025	28	#433 in 2021
New South Wales, Australia	2005–2013	7	#72 in 2009
Northern Ireland	2014–2024	5	#326 in 2021
Republic of Ireland	2016	1	#713 in 2016
Scotland	2024	1	#432 in 2024

Its high point came 15 years earlier in New South Wales, Australia (2009) than in Scotland (2024).

What the record shows

Recorded by 5 registrars between 1997 and 2025, ranked in 28 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #72, first reached in 2009.

It held a top-100 place in 7 years, 5 of them consecutive.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 147 births, registered in New South Wales, Australia in 2009.

1 registrar publishes it in more than one category list, holding a place in each for at least five years — an observation about those lists rather than about the name.

Its record falls into 2 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 1 year.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2005, and 27 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.

Jett 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 Jett without appearing here.
