Name statistics

Statistics Denmark's name statistics illustrate first names and surnames in the Danish population. The statistics were established in 1995 as an extension of a task done for the Department of Name Research at the University of Copenhagen. Statistics on names are divided into two parts: On the one hand, a statement of both first names and surnames in the entire population of Denmark as of 1 January and, on the other hand, a statement of first names for newborns in a given year. The former is calculated from 2002 onwards, while there are estimates for newborns from 1985 onwards. Data is searchable and selected additional statements can be downloaded in xlsx format from: https://www.dst.dk/en/Statistics/subjects/citizens/names.
