German popularity lists
Knud Bielefeld at beliebte-vornamen.de has allowed behindthename.com to publish the top 20 German names since 1890. There are no official name statistics in Germany so Knud analyzes birth notifications and compiles them into ranked lists. You can see the lists here: https://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/germany
