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.

Marianna appears in 3 of the published lists Namewise holds. The longest record is England and Wales · Girls, with 30 ranked years and 639 births registered; the earliest is Republic of Ireland · Girls, from 1977.

Marianna across 3 official records

Each registrar publishes its own list, so these figures are read down a row, never across one. A position in one country is not comparable with a position in another, and Namewise never combines them into a single ranking. The birth counts do not compare across rows either, for a different reason: England and Wales registers roughly thirty times as many births a year as Northern Ireland, so a larger total says which registrar recorded it as much as how widely the name was given.

Marianna 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 Marianna is officially recorded

4 official registrars have recorded Marianna, between 1977 and 2025, in 31 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.

Each mark is a year the registrar recorded the name; the diamond is that registrar's highest position. Gaps can mean a year was not published, not that the name went unused.

Registrar	Recorded	Years	Its own highest position
Republic of Ireland	1977–2024	17	#518 in 1977
England and Wales	1996–2025	30	#835 in 2001
Northern Ireland	2008–2016	2	#353 in 2016
Norway	2025	1	#479 in 2025

Its high point came 48 years earlier in Republic of Ireland (1977) than in Norway (2025).

No registrar recorded it for 18 years after 1977; it appears again in 1996.

What the record shows

Recorded by 4 registrars between 1977 and 2025, ranked in 31 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #353, first reached in 2016.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 28 births, registered in England and Wales in 2001.

Its record falls into 2 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 18 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 1996, and 48 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.

Marianna 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 2,576 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Marianna without appearing here.

How often it is registered: Official record; 4 official registrars, 1977–2025.
Meaning: Not established; Not researched 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.
