July 2026 evidence refresh · Batch 36

Reviewed Japanese Baby Name Ranking Snapshot

This page joins the latest available annual source positions to exact spelling-and-reading pairs that passed the JapanNames publication gate. It is updated on a monthly review cadence; it is not a monthly birth ranking.

What the rank means

Each number is the written-name position in the cited 2025 Tamahiyo boys' or girls' top-100 sample.

What was matched

Kanji and kana reading must both match a reviewed name record. Reading-only examples are excluded from these two tables.

What this is not

July 2026 is the refresh month, not the babies' birth month. The source is a commercial survey sample, not a census or a live nationwide trend.

Boys: top reviewed exact matches

Source positions are preserved. Gaps mean that an intervening survey entry is not yet a published, exact-match record on this site.

Source and reproducibility

The latest source is Benesse Corporation's Tamahiyo 2025 annual ranking, which states its own sample boundary. We keep boys' and girls' positions separate and retain the source year on every exported evidence row.
