What the record shows

Recorded by 1 registrar between 1997 and 2024, ranked in 24 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #1,664, first reached in 1999.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 13 births, registered in England and Wales in 2014.

Its record falls into 4 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 2 years.

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.

Absence from this list does not mean the name isn't genuinely meaningful or widely used — only that Namewise hasn't sourced and reviewed that content yet. Absence from a specific year or geography above does not prove zero use there either; official statistics only publish names above a minimum threshold.
