#899
counting every spelling

The SSA counts spellings, not names. Kiori went to 34 girls in 2025, but Kyori and Kiyori are the same name said out loud. Together the 3 spellings went to 61, which makes it the 899th most-given girls’ name of the year — 3,273 places above the chart.

  • Kiori34
  • Kyori16
  • Kiyori11

About 1 girl in 26,349 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 47,273 for Kiori itself.

Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method

The Gimena test

Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Kiori's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Gimena climbed just as high around 2004, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Gimena's path sketches the road Kiori is walking now.
