Keyon 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.

Recorded by 1 registrar between 2002 and 2024, ranked in 18 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #1,771, first reached in 2003.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 8 births, registered in England and Wales in 2003.

Its record falls into 4 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 3 years.

Keyon 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 Keyon without appearing here.
