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.

Morrigan 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.

Morrigan 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 Morrigan is officially recorded

2 official registrars have recorded Morrigan, between 1998 and 2025, in 18 of those 28 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
England and Wales	1998–2025	18	#2615 in 2020
Republic of Ireland	2022–2024	2	#898 in 2024

No registrar recorded it for 3 years after 2000; it appears again in 2004.

What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 1998 and 2025, ranked in 18 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #898, first reached in 2024.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 9 births, registered in England and Wales in 2020.

Its record falls into 7 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 3 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2022, and 24 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.
