Emiko
Given to 1,855 babies in the United States, 1910 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: Scotland (1974–2025), Ireland (1964–2025), Norway (1945–2025), Sweden (1998–2022), Belgium (2016–2025), Austria (1984–2025), Switzerland (2000–2025), Poland (2000–2025), Argentina (2012–2024), 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
Not recorded. The pronouncing dictionary used here has no entry for Emiko. That does not mean the name has no settled pronunciation — it means the source is a dictionary of English words that happens to contain many names, and it is thinnest on names coined recently. Nothing is guessed here, because a guessed pronunciation of somebody's name is worse than none.
Where these numbers come from
United States, 1880 to 2025
As a girl's name, Emiko was registered 1,850 times in the United States between 1910 and 2025, most often in the 2010s.
As a boy's name, Emiko was registered 5 times in the United States between 2010 and 2019, most often in the 2010s.
England and Wales, 1996 to 2025
83 babies, from a register that begins in 1996. 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: Office for National Statistics. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The registers withhold small counts on different rules — ONS redact a name given to two or fewer babies in total, 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.
Scotland
Not in this register. Emiko 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
On the register, with the number withheld. Emiko appears in the Northern Irish figures in 2 separate years, and NISRA publish no count for any of them: the name went to fewer than three babies in each of those years, and they withhold the number rather than the name. That is not a count of nought — it is a name somebody was given.
NISRA fold accents before publishing, in their words: “Names containing accents have been recorded without those accents.” Only Scotland does the same. So a Northern Irish figure covers every accenting of a name and most of the figures beside it do not.
Ireland
Not in this register. Emiko 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. Emiko 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
Not in this register. Emiko does not appear in the Swedish figures for 1998 to 2022. SCB published a name only where at least two babies of that sex were given it, and at least ten before 2004, so this means the name never cleared that bar.
France, 1900 to 2023
28 babies, from a register that begins in 1900. 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: Insee. Licence Ouverte / Open Licence 2.0 (Etalab). The registers withhold small counts on different rules — Insee withhold the YEAR rather than the name, pooling the births of a name given to fewer than three babies of a sex in a year into one undated record, 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.
Belgium
Not in this register. Emiko 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
Not in this register. Emiko does not appear in the Austrian figures for 1984 to 2025. Statistik Austria suppress no name and no figure, so unlike every other register here this means the name was not given to a baby registered in Austria, rather than that it was given too few times to print.
Switzerland
Not in this register. Emiko 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. Emiko 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, 1991 to 2024
76 babies, from a register that begins in 1991. 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 Canada, table 17-10-0147-01. Adapted from Statistics Canada, First names at birth by sex at birth, 1991–2024. This does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada of this product. The registers withhold small counts on different rules — Statistics Canada withhold any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, and publish no single-letter name — the same bar as the Americans, set by a different authority, 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.
Canada is usually said not to have a national name register, because births are registered province by province and most published lists are provincial top tens stitched together. Statistics Canada do assemble them: this is one table for the whole country, built from the Canadian Vital Statistics birth database together with Retraite Québec’s list of names.
Argentina
Not in this register. Emiko does not appear in the Argentine figures for 2012 to 2024. RENAPER publish a figure only where a name was given to at least two people, so this means it was rarer than that, or was given only outside 2012–2024.
Finland
Not in this register. Emiko 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. Emiko 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.
Neither a meaning nor a pronunciation is recorded here for this name. Pronunciations come from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, which does not have every name; meanings are not on the site at all yet. Both gaps will be filled from named sources or left visible, rather than with something plausible.
