Marguerita by decade in Republic of Ireland · 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 Marguerita is officially recorded

2 official registrars have recorded Marguerita, between 1965 and 2013, in 14 of those 49 years. 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
Republic of Ireland	1965–2013	13	#288 in 1966
England and Wales	2004	1	#3725 in 2004

Its high point came 38 years earlier in Republic of Ireland (1966) than in England and Wales (2004).

No registrar recorded it for 10 years after 1993; it appears again in 2004.

What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 1965 and 2013, ranked in 14 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #288, first reached in 1966.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 6 births, registered in Republic of Ireland in 1966.

Its record falls into 11 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 10 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2004, and 39 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.

Marguerita 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 Marguerita without appearing here.
