Baby name data from 1948, preserved from an earlier CBS release. This data is kept separate as the primary dataset (babynamesIL) now uses CBS release 391/2025 which starts from 1949.
Format
A tibble with six columns:
- sector
Demographic sector (character): "Jewish", "Muslim", "Christian", or "Druze"
- year
Birth year (numeric): 1948
- sex
Sex (character): "M" for male, "F" for female
- name
Baby name in Hebrew (character)
- n
Count of babies given this name (integer)
- prop
Proportion within the year/sector/sex group (numeric, 0-1)
Details
This dataset was extracted from the original babynamesIL package (versions prior to 0.1.0) which used a different CBS source file. The 1948 data represents the first full year of Israeli statehood.
Note that the "Other" sector was not reported in 1948 data.
Note
This dataset uses "Christian" (not "Christian-Arab") as the sector name, matching the terminology from the original data source.
