Hover a line for what is available to explain that row.
INSEE — Fichier des prénoms (births by department), dpt 972 (Martinique), 2010 on the left; every record we hold for Martinique on the right. A dashed line means the name is not in our top ranks for this country at all.

The register counts one population in one year — everyone it enumerates, once. Our corpus counts records: historical registers going back decades, the diaspora, business and place records, and several generations of births. A name that was common two generations ago outranks a name common today; a name whose spelling scatters across sources (diacritics dropped, transliterated differently) loses ground, because only its dominant spelling is ranked.

About this data

Official figures are reproduced from the register named beside them, at the year named beside them, and are never combined across registers. The "across all records" ranking counts records in our own corpus — historical registers, the diaspora, business and place records — and is not a population count. Bearer estimates are omitted where a name accounts for more than a quarter of a country's records, because the estimate is not defensible there. Names listed by reference works and licensed name dictionaries are cited as attesting a name; their figures are not published.

Questions

What is the most common given name in Martinique?
Noah, according to INSEE — Fichier des prénoms (births by department), dpt 972 (Martinique) (2010), with 50 bearers recorded among boys.
Why do sources disagree about the commonest name in Martinique?
Because they count different people. INSEE — Fichier des prénoms (births by department), dpt 972 (Martinique) (2010) counts one population once, and its commonest given name is Noah. Our corpus counts every record we hold — historical registers, the diaspora, decades of births — and its commonest is Nicolas. Both are on this page, each with its denominator.
Is there one naming system in Martinique?
No — 2 are described on this page (Afro-Caribbean, French), and they are separate systems rather than variants of one.
