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.

Vesta 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.

Vesta by decade in England and Wales · Girls

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 Vesta is officially recorded

2 official registrars have recorded Vesta, between 2007 and 2022, in 13 of those 16 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
England and Wales	2007–2022	13	#2150 in 2011
Republic of Ireland	2009–2012	3	#742 in 2009
