About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Karl-Göran” 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: Current first given names of living Finnish citizens residing in Finland or abroad in the Population Information System as of 2026-08-03; extracted 2026-08-04. Foreign citizens, deceased persons and former names excluded. Only the first-name sheets are used.
Rounding: Published integer counts retained without rounding.
Suppression: Names occurring fewer than five times are omitted. Absence is unknown, not zero.
Ranking: computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips
