How popular is the name Eithne?
Births per year, rank history and how many Eithnes are alive today.
Eithne (female) last appeared in the England and Wales name records in 2015 (ranked 3252nd); fewer than three babies a year have been given the name since. It was almost as popular in 1998, with 6 babies given the name that year.
The Eithne you are most likely to meet is around 29 years old - or else around 10: the name has two living generations. Half of all Eithnes born in England and Wales are between 11 and 28, and there are at least 100 of them alive today. If you walk into a room of 100 females, there's less than a 1% chance that anyone will be called Eithne - on average, only one in every 3,150 such rooms contains a Eithne.

Where this data comes from
Figures from 1996 onwards are the Office for National Statistics' annual baby-name registrations for England and Wales, which record every name given to three or more babies in a year. Figures before 1996 are estimates: the ONS published only top-100 rankings at ten-year intervals back to 1904, so counts for those years are modelled from the rankings, calibrated against Douglas Galbi's long-run research into English name frequencies, and shown with an uncertainty band. Estimates of living bearers combine these birth figures with national life tables and ONS mid-year population estimates.
One limit worth naming: these figures count names as registered at birth. Anyone who changes their name later in life - including trans people, and anyone who adopts a different name by deed poll or simply by use - is not reflected here. Birth registrations record where a name began, not the name a person lives with.
