Katlyn appears in 3 of the published lists Namewise holds. The longest record is England and Wales · Girls, which has ranked it in 19 years beginning in 1997, and has registered 219 births with the name.

Katlyn across 3 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.

Katlyn 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.

What the record shows

Recorded by 3 registrars between 1997 and 2017, ranked in 19 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #213, first reached in 1998.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 22 births, registered in England and Wales in 2001.

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

A second registrar first ranked it in 1997, and 1 year 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.

Katlyn was ranked #213 in Northern Ireland · Girls in 1998. 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.

Katlyn 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 Katlyn without appearing here.

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.
