Medeea across 2 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.

What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 2011 and 2024, ranked in 12 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #555, first reached in 2023.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 43 births, registered in England and Wales in 2022.

Its record falls into 3 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 1 year.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2021, and 10 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.

Medeea was ranked #555 in Republic of Ireland · Girls in 2023. 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.

Medeea 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 Medeea without appearing here.

Absence from a specific year or geography above does not prove zero use there either; official statistics only publish names above a minimum threshold.
