Tadg 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.

Its highest recorded position is #232, first reached in 1964.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 5 births, registered in Republic of Ireland in 1969.

Its record falls into 8 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 19 years.

Tadg 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 Tadg without appearing here.
