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.

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.
