How to read this chart

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.

Pio across 2 official records

Each registrar publishes its own list, so these figures are read down a row, never across one. A position in one country is not comparable with a position in another, and Namewise never combines them into a single ranking. The birth counts do not compare across rows either, for a different reason: England and Wales registers roughly thirty times as many births a year as Northern Ireland, so a larger total says which registrar recorded it as much as how widely the name was given.

Pio by decade in Republic of Ireland · Boys

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.

Where Pio is officially recorded

2 official registrars have recorded Pio, between 1969 and 2023, in 15 of those 55 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.

Registrar	Recorded	Years	Its own highest position
Republic of Ireland	1969–2022	10	#230 in 1969
England and Wales	2010–2023	5	#3848 in 2020

Its high point came 51 years earlier in Republic of Ireland (1969) than in England and Wales (2020).

No registrar recorded it for 29 years after 1979; it appears again in 2009.

Its highest recorded position is #230, first reached in 1969.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 6 births, registered in Republic of Ireland in 1969.
