Where the data comes from
Ranks and counts come from TÜİK’s name statistics page, which covers the most-given newborn names for 2018–2025. Our chart uses the same national top-30 lists, and a year without a point means the name was not in that year’s top 30. The counts are births in those top-30 lists, not all births in Turkey. Meanings and languages come from our own database, and confidence levels are shown as stored.
