About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “ALEIX” 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 use the matching published total for this region, recorded category and year; years without a compatible denominator remain gaps.

Universe: Names of newborns from INE birth statistics, national TOTAL sheet only. Regional tables are not added to national counts.
Rounding: Published integer counts retained without rounding.
Suppression: Only the published top 100 names per sex and year are covered; names outside the lists remain unknown.
Ranking: computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips
