Timeline history of the top 20 most popular baby boy names in The Republic of Ireland between 1964 and 2020, presented as a barchart race. Statistics for given names in Northern Ireland is not included in this video.

The colour of each bar indicate the origin for the name the bar represent. This is not accurate science! Some of the names may have different, independent sources, and other have a rather unclear origin. Some of the names have origins streching thousands of years back in time. I've merged some of the language groups, to limit the number of categories. "Celtic" includes names with a likely origin from Scottish, Irish, Welsh or Gaelic language.
