Total count of babies per name across all years (1949-2024), by sector and sex.
These totals come directly from the CBS source data and include all registrations,
even from years where the name was given to fewer than 5 babies. This means the
totals may be higher than the sum of yearly counts in babynamesIL,
which only includes years with at least 5 babies.
Format
A tibble with four columns:
- sector
Demographic sector (character): "Jewish", "Muslim", "Christian-Arab", or "Druze"
- sex
Sex (character): "M" for male, "F" for female
- name
Baby name in Hebrew (character)
- total
Total count across all years, including years below the 5-baby threshold (integer)
