Names spreading between countries
Names recorded by at least three registrars, at least two of which first recorded them within the last 20 years of the name's overall history.
Measured against each name's own history rather than a fixed date, so a name whose whole record is recent does not count as spreading. It describes which registrars began publishing the name and when — never how it travelled, which no source Namewise holds could show.
44 names, selected from the 2,573 names in the catalogue with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon). Based on official statistics from national registrars. Data sources · Methodology
