Muskaan 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.

What the record shows

Recorded by 1 registrar between 1999 and 2024, ranked in 26 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #538, first reached in 2004.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 59 births, registered in England and Wales in 2004.

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.

Muskaan was ranked #538 in England and Wales · Girls in 2004. 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.

Muskaan 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 Muskaan without appearing here.
