Origin is the label recorded in the dataset: "English", "Muslim" and "Quranic" are collection labels, not languages, so they are counted as no language label. Source: U.S. Social Security Administration, Popular Baby Names (national data, 1880-2024). Counts are Social Security card applications for births in the United States; names with fewer than 5 births in a year are not listed, and spelling variants are counted separately.
