Names given far more often here than in the rest of Switzerland. The language regions share a name pool – almost every name appears in all of them – so what separates them is proportion, not presence.

Source: Bundesamt für Statistik, Vornamen der Neugeborenen. The same records as the national page, split by the language of the area a child was born in. BFS splits the bilingual cantons itself, so Bern, Fribourg, Valais and Jura each count towards two regions and Graubünden towards three. A region is where the birth was registered, not what the family speaks at home. The same caveats as the national figures apply, because these are the same records.
