  • 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.

2 official registrars have recorded My, between 1953 and 2024, in 54 of those 72 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.

A claim marked not established does not mean the name lacks a meaning or is not widely used — only that Namewise has not sourced and reviewed that content 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.
