Recorded by 1 registrar between 1996 and 2024, ranked in 23 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #1,104, first reached in 2022.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 25 births, registered in England and Wales in 2022.

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