About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Adamo” as recorded by the publisher. When a spelling has several independent origins, the counts are not split between them. Counts measure births. Gaps are years without a published value, not zeros.

Rates per million are unavailable for this series because no compatible denominator has been imported.

Universe: First names from births registered in Ontario; female records start in 1913 and male records in 1917. Not national Canadian statistics.
Rounding: Integer published frequencies retained without rounding.
Suppression: Counts of fewer than 5 names were suppressed for privacy. Missing observations are unknown, not zero.
Ranking: The redistribution has no rank column; computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips.
