Yara vs Yarel

Babies given each name, 1880–2025

Yara Yarel

Each line is every baby given the name that year, girls and boys added together — the only count that means the same thing for both names. A line breaks where the name fell below five babies in a year — the point at which the SSA stops publishing it — rather than being drawn through a figure nobody published. A single published year in a gap shows as a dot.

Who was ahead

The closest they came was 2009, when Yara had 185 and Yarel had 151.

Side by side

A rank is a position within one sex’s list for one year, so the two rank rows are not subtracted from one another and the winning column is not marked on them. The living figure is a life-table estimate, not a count.

Which name is older

Half of the Yarels alive today are over 14; half the Yaras are over 7. That is 7 years between them: two names in use at the same time, worn by two different generations.
