Names recorded earlier in Norway than elsewhere

Names Norway's registrar recorded at least 10 years before any other live registrar recorded them, and that at least two others have since recorded.

An ordering of publication dates, and nothing more. It says which registrar printed the name first among the seven Namewise holds — never that the name originates in Norway, spread from there, or belongs to it. Registrars publish names above their own thresholds and started publishing in different years, so being recorded first is partly a fact about the source.
