Rank is a position, a count is a headcount, and they move independently — a name can hold its rank while the number of babies behind it falls. Source: U.S. Social Security Administration.

Spellings of Naithan

#7679
Naithan on the 2025 chart
#899
counting every spelling

The SSA counts spellings, not names. Naithan went to 10 boys in 2025, but Naythan is the same name said out loud. Together the 2 spellings went to 29, which makes it the 899th most-given boys’ name of the year — 6,780 places above the chart.

About 1 boy in 58,899 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 170,808 for Naithan 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 Hanz test

Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Naithan's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Hanz climbed just as high around 1974, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Hanz's path sketches the road Naithan is walking now.
