Popularity in the United States
Ranks for 2021–2024 are the full US Social Security Administration national baby-name files: every spelling given to at least five children that year. 2025 ranks are this site's published top 1,000 boy names and top 1,000 girl names. A 2025 rank inside that list is the rank among names in the file. Country codes are a short catalog sample of places the spelling is recorded, not a popularity rank. The chart uses the boy file.

Countries
Yearly ranks are published here for the United States only. Other countries show whether the short catalog list for this spelling includes them. That is presence, not a rank, so this page does not say a name is more popular in one country than another unless both sides have a rank.
