Recorded by 1 registrar between 1996 and 2024, ranked in 18 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #1,040, first reached in 1996.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 13 births, registered in England and Wales in 1996.

Its record falls into 3 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 10 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.

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 Shahbaz without appearing here.

Absence from a specific year or geography above does not prove zero use there either; official statistics only publish names above a minimum threshold.
