born that year still alive today

Of the 2,170 babies given the name since 1978, about 2,100 are alive — 99 in every hundred. Roughly 1,200 of them are children and 0 are 65 or over. The dotted line is the median: half were born before 2009 and half after.

An estimate, not a count. SSA births aged forward through SSA cohort life tables, which know nothing about who left the country or arrived in it — so for a name that mostly came to America rather than being born in it, this is a floor rather than a figure. Where you fall among living Americans.

Counts come from each country's own records and are not comparable with the US figures above, which cover different years and a different definition of a recorded name. Where a country writes the name several ways, the spellings are added together and the most common is shown. A row marked name registrations is counting something else: Portugal ranks each of a child's two given names separately, so a girl registered Maria Leonor is in both the Maria row and the Leonor row, and that figure is not a number of children.

Parts of a country counted above, not extra births. The share is what makes the regions comparable: they differ in size by a factor of three hundred.

By canton, Leyna is most concentrated in Geneva, where 0.02% of children were given it – 25 of them.

Leyna: rank by region

In 2025, Leyna was given 5 times or more in 3 regions of Belgium.

Region Spelling Place Children
Flanders Leyna 656 7
Wallonia Leyna 149 17
Brussels Leyna 57 16

In 2025, with the country taken in 11 areas rather than 3, Leyna appears in the lists for Brussels-Capital Region (57th), Province of Liège (113th) and Province of Hainaut (133rd).

Each of these is the top of a list the statistics office cut off somewhere – Belgium below 5 children – and published nothing after. So a region missing here is one where the name fell outside what was published, not one where it went unused. Places are shared where names tie, and the further down a list a place is, the more names can share it.

One city over a few years, so these are much smaller numbers than the national ones above and not comparable with them.

Counts include only births registered with the SSA, and names with fewer than five births in a year are not published. The living estimate applies SSA cohort life tables to those births; it counts people born in the United States, so it misses anyone who arrived later and anyone who has left.
