What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 1964 and 1996, ranked in 24 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #287, first reached in 1968.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 11 births, registered in Republic of Ireland in 1979.

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

A second registrar first ranked it in 1996, and 32 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.

Katherina · #288, 34y

Kathrina was ranked #287 in Republic of Ireland · Girls in 1968. 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.

Kathrina 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 Kathrina without appearing here.
