Reiner sits in the rare tail. Its best year on record was 2024, with 32 boys. Today it is given to few enough children that it does not enter the ranked charts at all.

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 Reiner

#895
counting every spelling

The SSA counts spellings, not names. Reiner went to 23 boys in 2025, but Reyner is the same name said out loud. Together the 2 spellings went to 33, which makes it the 895th most-given boys’ name of the year — 3,501 places above the chart.

  • Reiner23
  • Reyner10

About 1 boy in 51,760 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 74,264 for Reiner 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 Lyndol test

Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Reiner's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Lyndol climbed just as high around 1927, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Lyndol's path sketches the road Reiner is walking now.
