What the record shows

Recorded by 3 registrars between 2006 and 2024, ranked in 17 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #727, first reached in 2024.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 28 births, registered in England and Wales in 2023.

Its record falls into 3 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 1 year.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2022, and 18 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.

Rishaan was ranked #727 in Scotland · Boys in 2024. These are the names immediately either side of it on that published list — a fact about the registrar's own output, not a similarity judgement.

Rishaan 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 Rishaan 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.
