People registered with Mohammad as their first name (as published by JPN), by decade of birth, for the decades in which it was in the top 10 for its sex in the JPN Malay table. Bar length shows the name’s share of that decade’s top-10 total for the sex (the percentage after the count), because those totals differ between decades. Source: JPN via data.gov.my (CC BY 4.0)
