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.

Kaiah 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 Kaiah is officially recorded

2 official registrars have recorded Kaiah, between 1999 and 2025, in 13 of those 27 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	1999–2025	12	#3533 in 2022
Republic of Ireland	2015	1	#751 in 2015

No registrar recorded it for 8 years after 1999; it appears again in 2008.

What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 1999 and 2025, ranked in 13 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #751, first reached in 2015.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 6 births, registered in England and Wales in 2022.

Its record falls into 7 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 8 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2015, 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.

Kaiah 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 Kaiah without appearing here.
