About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Hampus” 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: Newborns by naming year and their calling name (tilltalsnamn), SCB TAB619/BE0001T05AR. A calling name need not be the first name in registration order; this series is kept separate from other publishers' first-position counts.
Rounding: Published integer counts retained without rounding.
Suppression: Null/.. cells are not published outside the top 100. Missing observations stay unknown. Duplicate top-ten categories are excluded in favour of top-100 categories.
Ranking: Published ranks retained, including ties. Not recomputed from alphabetical order.
