What the record shows

Recorded by 1 registrar between 1949 and 2000, ranked in 24 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #347, first reached in 1997.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 11 births, registered in Norway in 1997.

Its record falls into 8 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 15 years.

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.

Ole-Jørgen 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 Ole-Jørgen without appearing here.

Absence from this list does not mean the name isn't genuinely meaningful or widely used — only that Namewise hasn't 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.
