Recorded by 1 registrar between 2002 and 2024, ranked in 20 years of that period.

Its record falls into 4 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 1 year.

Pratham 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 Pratham without appearing here.
