What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 2010 and 2024, ranked in 11 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #764, first reached in 2019.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 15 births, registered in England and Wales in 2014.

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

A second registrar first ranked it in 2019, and 9 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.

Llewyn was ranked #764 in Republic of Ireland · Boys in 2019. 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.

Llewyn 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 Llewyn 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.
