Liyana 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 Liyana is officially recorded

3 official registrars have recorded Liyana, between 2004 and 2025. 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.

Registrar	Recorded	Years	Its own highest position
England and Wales	2004–2025	22	#111 in 2025
Republic of Ireland	2022	1	#905 in 2022
Scotland	2024	1	#384 in 2024

What the record shows

Recorded by 3 registrars between 2004 and 2025, ranked in 22 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #111, first reached in 2025.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 425 births, registered in England and Wales in 2025.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2022, and 20 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.

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.

Official popularity data is available for 3 regions, from 2004 to 2025. Highest recorded position: #111 in England and Wales in 2025. Source data last verified 2026-07-21.
