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.

Zander appears in 3 of the published lists Namewise holds. The longest record is England and Wales · Boys, which has ranked it in 26 years beginning in 1999, and has registered 1,014 births with the name.

Zander across 3 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.

Zander by decade in England and Wales · 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.

Where Zander is officially recorded

4 official registrars have recorded Zander, between 1999 and 2025, in 26 of those 27 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	1999–2025	26	#520 in 2013
Republic of Ireland	2003–2025	6	#500 in 2003
Northern Ireland	2015–2024	5	#305 in 2024
Scotland	2024	1	#199 in 2024

Its high point came 21 years earlier in Republic of Ireland (2003) than in Northern Ireland (2024).

What the record shows

Recorded by 4 registrars between 1999 and 2025, ranked in 26 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #199, first reached in 2024.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 72 births, registered in England and Wales in 2017.

Its record falls into 2 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 1 year.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2003, and 25 years separate the first registrar to record it from the last.

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.
