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.

Usage

babynamesIL_totals

Format

sector

Demographic sector (character): "Jewish", "Muslim", "Christian-Arab", or "Druze"

sex

Sex (character): "M" for male, "F" for female

name

total
