About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “LALIT” 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

Rounding
Published integer counts retained without rounding.
Suppression
Only names held by at least 20 residents nationally are published. Missing names remain unknown, never zero.
