What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 2007 and 2019, ranked in 11 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #720, first reached in 2010.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 12 births, registered in England and Wales in 2012.

Its record falls into 2 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 2 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2010, and 3 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.

Orestas 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 Orestas 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.

Official popularity data is available for 2 regions, from 2007 to 2019. Highest recorded position: #720 in Republic of Ireland in 2010. Source data last verified 2026-07-25.
