What the record shows

Recorded by 1 registrar between 1996 and 2025, ranked in 23 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #1,758, first reached in 2024.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 14 births, registered in England and Wales in 2024.

Its record falls into 5 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 4 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.

Param 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 2,577 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Param without appearing here.
