About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Mai-Britt” 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: Born persons for the individual girls' and boys' names published in SSB table 10467.
Rounding: Published integer counts retained without rounding.
Suppression: SSB API: '.' means category not applicable; '..' means data not available. Null cells are not emitted and remain unknown, never zero.
Ranking: computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips
