Births registered with the name in each decade of this one list, with the number of years the list covers in that decade.

What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 2004 and 2024, ranked in 21 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #635, first reached in 2011.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 63 births, registered in England and Wales in 2011.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2020, and 16 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.

Zunairah was ranked #635 in England and Wales · Girls in 2011. These are the names immediately either side of it on that published list — a fact about the registrar's own output, not a similarity judgement.

Zunairah 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 Zunairah without appearing here.
