Popular Baby Names
Popular Baby Names by Sex and Ethnic Group Data were collected through civil birth registration. Each record represents the ranking of a baby name in the order of frequency. Data can be used to represent the popularity of a name. Caution should be used when assessing the rank of a baby name if the frequency count is close to 10; the ranking may vary year to year.

Columns
Each source column, with the name and type we use to store it.
0 of 6 columns carry a concept; 6 carry a description from the publisher. Read the concept column before you join. A column with no concept carries no claim from us, and a name that looks like a key is not one.
