About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Kealan” 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 names on Irish birth registrations; CSO tables VSA50 (boys) and VSA60 (girls). From 2017, births registered during the calendar year.
Rounding
Published integer counts retained without rounding.
Suppression
CSO publishes names with three or more occurrences. Null cells are not emitted; absence is unknown, not zero.
Ranking
Published ranks from VSA50C02 and VSA60C02 retained unchanged, including ties.
