About this dataset and its counting rules
Statistics count the spelling “HOUSSEM” 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 given name (« PRENOM : premier prénom ») of persons registered at birth in the French civil register, as held in the RNIPP. Page wording: « prénoms attribués aux enfants nés en France entre 1900 et 2025 (les données avant 2012 ne concernent que France hors Mayotte) »; « personnes nées en France métropolitaine et dans les départements-régions d'outre-mer ». Birth observations, not a living-population count.
- Rounding
- « 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).
- Suppression
- Publication threshold (landing page): « Un prénom est diffusé s'il a été attribué au moins 3 fois à des personnes de sexe féminin ou à des personnes de sexe masculin : au niveau national : pour une année de naissance donnée [...] Les prénoms ne remplissant pas ces conditions ne sont pas diffusés. [...] L'absence d'un croisement sexe x prénom x année x zone géographique ne signifie donc pas forcément qu'il n'existe pas dans les données de l'état civil, mais qu'il comporte deux occurrences ou moins. » A missing sex/name/year row therefore means ≤ 2 occurrences, never 0. This release contains no grouped rare-names row (older releases used `_PRENOMS_RARES`); the spelling RARES present in the file is a real name (« le prénom d'origine roumaine « Rareș » apparaît en tant que « RARES » »).
- Ranking
- « RANG : rang calculé à partir des effectifs non arrondis selon le sexe, l'année de naissance et la zone géographique ; en cas d'égalité sur les valeurs non arrondies, un tri aléatoire est appliqué. » Ranks are published by INSEE from unrounded counts and are preserved verbatim; NameStoria never recomputes them from the rounded counts. Ranks are unique within a sex/year (random tie-break by INSEE).
