Aragon
Given to 75 babies in the United States, 2000 to 2025. Every figure below is a count of birth registrations, not an estimate.
By register
By decade, every selected register together
Asked and held nothing for this name: England and Wales (1996–2025), Scotland (1974–2025), Northern Ireland (1997–2025), Ireland (1964–2025), Norway (1945–2025), France (1900–2023), Belgium (2016–2025), Switzerland (2000–2025), Poland (2000–2025), Canada (1991–2024), Finland (living citizens, 2026), Greenland (2002–2025). That is not a count of nought — each of those registers was searched and does not carry this spelling. Every one withholds its smallest counts, on its own rule, so a name can be real there and still absent from what they publish.
Narrow these tables
The sum at the top of each table adds counts that were not made on the same rule — the Americans publish a name only where five or more babies were given it in a year, ONS redact any name given to two or fewer in total, Finland counts living citizens rather than births. It is an indication of how widely the name is recorded, not a measurement of how many people have it.
How it is said
ˈɛɹəɡˌɑn
From the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, free for any use. The symbols are IPA, converted from CMU's notation by the published correspondence. Two things in that conversion are ours rather than theirs: an unstressed vowel is written as a schwa, and the stress mark sits before the stressed vowel rather than at the start of its syllable — CMU record no syllable boundaries, so placing it properly would mean guessing where the syllables fall.
Where these numbers come from
United States, 1880 to 2025
As a boy's name, Aragon was registered 75 times in the United States between 2000 and 2025, most often in the 2000s.
England and Wales
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the English and Welsh figures for 1996 to 2025. ONS withhold any name given to two or fewer babies in total, so this means the name was rare there rather than unknown.
Scotland
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the Scottish figures for 1974 to 2025. NRS suppress any name given to two or fewer babies in a year, so this means the name was rare there rather than unknown.
Northern Ireland
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the Northern Irish figures for 1997 to 2025. NISRA print every name given to a baby registered there, so an absence here means the name does not appear at all between 1997 and 2025.
Ireland
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the Irish figures for 1964 to 2025. The CSO list a name once it has reached three babies in any single year, so this means the name never did.
Norway
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the Norwegian figures for 1945 to 2025. SSB list only names used by at least two hundred people in the previous year, so an absence here usually means the name was never that common in Norway rather than never used.
Sweden, 1998 to 2022
2 babies, from a register that begins in 1998. Its decades cannot be compared with the American ones, which reach back to 1880: where the two tables above put them in the same row, they are counting different lengths of record.
Source: Statistics Sweden, released under CC0, which asks for no credit at all. The registers withhold small counts on different rules — SCB withhold anything under two — and under ten before 2004, which is a different bar in the same table, and the Americans hide one given to fewer than five in a year — so a name in one table and not another may only have met different thresholds.
The Swedish bar moved in 2004. Until 2003 a name was published only if ten or more babies of that sex were given it; from 2004, two. A Swedish column that looks thin in its first years is showing that rule, not a name becoming popular. The series also stops: SCB ceased producing name statistics in 2024, so 2022 is the last year there will be. And what it counts is a tilltalsnamn — the given name a person actually goes by — rather than every name on the register.
France
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the French figures for 1900 to 2023. Insee list a name individually only where it was given at least 20 times to one sex, over 1900-1945 or over 1946-2023; rarer names are pooled into a single record they call _PRENOMS_RARES. So this means the name was rare there rather than unknown.
Belgium
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the Belgian figures for 2016 to 2025. Statbel publish a figure only where at least five babies in a single municipality were given the name, so this means it never reached five in any one town — not that no Belgian child has it.
Austria, 1984 to 2025
5 babies, from a register that begins in 1984. Its decades cannot be compared with the American ones, which reach back to 1880: where the two tables above put them in the same row, they are counting different lengths of record.
Source: Statistik Austria. Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. The registers withhold small counts on different rules — Statistik Austria withhold no count at all — where a name was given fewer than four times in a year they withhold the district instead, and publish the number, and the Americans hide one given to fewer than five in a year — so a name in one table and not another may only have met different thresholds.
Austria is the only column on this page that is a total rather than a floor: nothing is held back except which district a birth was in. Two things do limit it. It records first names only, so a child registered Anna Maria is an Anna. And its coverage widens twice — to 2009 it counts only babies with Austrian citizenship, from 2010 every baby born in Austria, and from 2015 also babies born abroad to mothers living there — so the later decades are larger partly by rule and not only by naming.
Austrian spellings are also partly folded. Statistik Austria transcode names so that spellings alike but for their marks come together, and the only marks that survive are the six German umlauts. So an Austrian figure for an unaccented spelling covers the accented ways of writing it as well, and the figures beside it do not.
Switzerland
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the Swiss figures for 2000 to 2025. the Federal Statistical Office publish a fixed list of first names and do not say how a name gets onto it. So this may mean the name was never given in Switzerland, or only that it is not on that list.
Poland
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the Polish figures for 2000 to 2025. the Ministry left out any name given fewer than five times in a year up to 2012, and fewer than two from 2013. So an absence in the early years is a weaker statement than an absence in the later ones.
Canada
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the Canadian figures for 1991 to 2024. Statistics Canada publish a name only where five or more babies were given it in a year, and exclude single-letter names, so this means the name was rare there rather than unknown.
Argentina, 2012 to 2024
4 people on the register, from a register that begins in 2012. Its decades cannot be compared with the American ones, which reach back to 1880: where the two tables above put them in the same row, they are counting different lengths of record.
Source: RENAPER, the Dirección Nacional de Población. Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. The registers withhold small counts on different rules — RENAPER publish no count below two, and publish no sex at all — the column here is every baby, not girls and boys apart, and the Americans hide one given to fewer than five in a year — so a name in one table and not another may only have met different thresholds.
Two things about the Argentine column are unlike every other on this page. RENAPER publish no sex: their file with a sex column holds 169 names, and the one used here holds 14,917 and does not say. Splitting a figure between girls and boys would invent the only thing it leaves out, so the column is simply everybody.
And it counts the living, not births registered. RENAPER count people nacidas vivas e identificadas
— born alive and holding a document — as the register stood in September 2024. So a 2012 figure is how many people born that year were still on the register twelve years later, not how many babies were registered then. Anyone who died, or never received a document, is not counted. Every other register on this site counts the birth itself.
One more difference, and this one is a gain: Argentina counts every given name, so a child called María Sofía is a María and a Sofía. Surnames are never counted here, in any register.
Finland
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the Finnish figures at all. DVV publish a name only where at least five living Finnish citizens hold it, so this means fewer than five do — not that no Finn was ever given it.
Greenland
Not in this register. Aragon does not appear in the Greenlandic figures for 2002 to 2025. Statistics Greenland suppress nothing, so — as with Austria — this means no resident of Greenland born since 2002 has the name, rather than that it was too rare to print.
The Social Security Administration publish the name on every United States birth registration from 1880 onward, and dedicate the data to the public domain under CC0. This page adds nothing to it: the counts are theirs, grouped by decade.
One gap, and it matters here more than anywhere. SSA publish a name only where five or more babies were given it in a year. A name you cannot find is not a name nobody used — it is a name used four times or fewer, and no site built on this data can see it.
The pronunciation above comes from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, which covers some names and not others. Meanings are not here yet. When they arrive they will come from named scholarship old enough to be out of copyright, and where two authorities disagree the page will say so rather than picking one.
