Austria

Statistik Austria — Vornamen (OGDEXT_VORNAMEN_1): first names of live births, Austria, 1984-2025 (national counts from district rows) · CC-BY-4.0

Who is counted

Metadata page, verbatim: « Erste Vornamen Neugeborener nach Geburtsjahr, Geschlecht und politischem Bezirk ab 1984: 1984 bis 2009 nur Babys mit österreichischer Staatsbürgerschaft; ab 2010 alle Babys. Die regionale Zuordnung zum politischen Bezirk erfolgt nach dem Wohnort der Mutter zum Zeitpunkt der Geburt. » English title on the page: « First names by year of birth, sex and administrative district: 1984-2009 only babys with austrian nationality; from 2010 onwards all babys. » Attribute F-ANZAHL_LGEB: « Anzahl Lebendgeborene » (number of live births).

Rounding

No rounding stated; counts are integers (valueStatus=observed). National counts are computed by NameStoria as the sum of the published district rows plus the GEH row for the same name/sex/year (the file has no national total row); see notes for the overlap check.

Unpublished counts

Metadata page, verbatim: « Bei Vornamen, die pro Jahr seltener als vier Mal vorkommen, wird nur die Anzahl pro Jahr für Österreich angezeigt. » (« For first names that occur less than four times per year, only the number per year for Austria is displayed. ») These rows carry district code GEH. No name is withheld at national level, so national counts are complete as published.

Ranking

No ranks are published; computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips. Computed per year and sex over the national counts.

Spelling policy

Spellings kept exactly as published in F-VORNAME_NORMALISIERT (« Vorname normalisiert »): mixed case. Statistik Austria publishes a normalised spelling and does not document the normalisation on the metadata page; the published character set contains only ASCII letters, hyphen and the German umlauts ä ö ü Ä Ö Ü (no other diacritics: e.g. Chloe, Rene appear without accents), so other diacritics appear to be stripped by the publisher. The normalised form must not be treated as the registered orthography. Sex codes: 1 (männlich)→M, 2 (weiblich)→F.
