Coverage notes
What the data means
Rankings are based on available Australian baby-name data. If a name is missing from a year, it may mean the name was outside the published list, not that it had zero births.
| Years covered | 2008-2025, with some additional state and reported national rows where available. |
|---|---|
| Gender coverage | Boys and girls. |
| List type | Mostly published top-100 rankings. Counts are only shown where the source provides them. |
| Meaning and origin metadata | Stored separately in data/clean/name_metadata.csv. Not every name has meaning data yet, and meanings or origins can vary by source. |
