« VALEUR : fréquence arrondie au multiple de 5 le plus proche ». « La mise en place de cet arrondi, à partir de la diffusion de juillet 2025, est motivée par la variabilité de quelques unités d'une année à l'autre des fréquences et par la mise en œuvre des obligations relatives au secret statistique. » « En raison des arrondis, la somme des effectifs départementaux peut différer des effectifs régionaux ou nationaux. » Every observation is therefore valueStatus=rounded (verified: 0 rows with a count that is not a multiple of 5).

Artus— “Kelt, high”
When Richmond really came out of Brittany and conquered England, he named his first son Arthur, but that son never wore the British crown, nor did the infant Arthur of Scotland, so named by James V., survive to be known in history.

When Richmond really came out of Brittany and conquered England, he named his first son Arthur, but that son never wore the British crown, nor did the infant Arthur of Scotland, so named by James V., survive to be known in history. Arthur, however, had become an occasional name; but it was reserved for the great Arthur Wellesley, whose name had perhaps more to do with the old Art of Erse times than with the king of the Round Table, to make it, as it is at present, one of the most universally popular of English names. Even the French use it, for its sound, it may be presumed, rather than for its recent distinction, and they have ceased to spell it in the old form, Artus, and adopted our own. The Italians know, but do not use, Arturo; however, the name changes so little that Madame Schopenhauer’s husband was justified in choosing it for his son as a useful name for a merchant, because it does not alter in being translated.
