About this dataset and its counting rules
Statistics count the spelling “Layra” 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
- Annual first given names of newborns, BEVNAT live-birth statistics, national geography 8100 only. Infostar civil-register data. Regional rows are not added to national totals.
- Rounding
- Published integer counts retained without rounding.
- Suppression
- Only names and cells published in the FSO flows are covered. Literal zero cells are not emitted; absence in NameStoria must not be treated as a complete national zero-frequency claim.
- Ranking
- FSO RANK observations retained unchanged; zero rank/count pairs omitted.
