Wasima 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.

Recorded by 1 registrar between 1997 and 2024, ranked in 10 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #1,952, first reached in 2004.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 10 births, registered in England and Wales in 2004.

Its record falls into 5 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 12 years.

Wasima 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 Wasima without appearing here.
