About this dataset and its counting rules
Statistics count the spelling “Laoch” 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.
