Berlin — published first-given-name registration counts, 2017–2023 · CC-BY-3.0-DE

Who is counted

Published counts for first-position given names of newborn children registered at Berlin's twelve district registry offices. Disjoint common district counts and the citywide pool of district-singleton counts are added; anonymous unique-name totals are excluded.

Rounding

Published integer counts retained without rounding.

Unpublished counts

District counts of one are moved to a separate pool and combined by spelling/sex/position; pooled counts of one remain anonymous and cannot be assigned to names. Published subtotals can omit singleton contributions even for names published elsewhere. Missing contributions are unknown, never inferred as zero.

Ranking

computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips; ranks describe published position-1 subtotals, not a complete unsuppressed register.

Spelling policy

Exact Unicode spellings retained; only position 1 is used. Position is not evidence of the calling name. Earlier 2012–2016 files without name positions are not mixed into this series.
