About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “GIOVANNI BATTISTA” as recorded by the publisher. When a spelling has several independent origins, the counts are not split between them. Counts measure people. 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: Annual population census at 2025-01-01; all published national first-name frequencies of at least 20 residents. A snapshot of current residents, not historical birth registrations.
Rounding: Published integer counts retained without rounding.
Suppression: Only names held by at least 20 residents nationally are published. Missing names remain unknown, never zero.
Ranking: computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips
