About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Jeroen” 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: SVB's published boys' and girls' newborn name lists, derived from its child-benefit administration. Only exact spellings occurring at least ten times per sex/year are shown; this is not an assertion of complete civil-registration coverage.
Rounding: Published integer counts retained without rounding.
Suppression: Only names occurring ten or more times per sex/year are published. Counts below ten and absent names remain unknown, never zero. The separate gender-neutral table is not added to these sex-specific counts.
Ranking: Published competition ranks retained, including ties. Counts and ranks are cross-checked over every complete published sex/year table.
