How to read this chart

A rank is a position in one registrar's list for one year.
Ranks from different countries are separate scales, so compare shapes, not numbers.
A rise in rank can be a small change in births, especially far down a list.

Kaelum 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 Kaelum is officially recorded

3 official registrars have recorded Kaelum, between 1996 and 2014, in 12 of those 19 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.

Each mark is a year the registrar recorded the name; the diamond is that registrar's highest position. Gaps can mean a year was not published, not that the name went unused.

Registrar	Recorded	Years	Its own highest position
England and Wales	1996–2014	12	#1345 in 1997
Republic of Ireland	2006	1	#596 in 2006
Northern Ireland	2012	1	#403 in 2012

Its high point came 15 years earlier in England and Wales (1997) than in Northern Ireland (2012).

No registrar recorded it for 3 years after 2002; it appears again in 2006.

What the record shows

Recorded by 3 registrars between 1996 and 2014, ranked in 12 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #403, first reached in 2012.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 9 births, registered in England and Wales in 1997.

Its record falls into 6 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 3 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2006, 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.

Kaelum 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 2,576 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Kaelum without appearing here.

How often it is registered: Official record; 3 official registrars, 1996–2014.
Meaning: Not established; Not researched yet.

A claim marked not established does not mean the name lacks a meaning or is not widely used — only that Namewise has not 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.
