Rarely recorded boy names
851 names
How this list is chosen: one-word names with a sourced meaning that never appear in the JPN popular-name tables (top 10 per sex and decade, 1940s to 2010s) and are borne by only one to three Malaysian or Singaporean citizens recorded in Wikidata. Listed A–Z. Figures: JPN via data.gov.my (CC BY 4.0).
The limits of this list: “rarely recorded” means rare in these two sources only, not in the population. Some names here, such as Adil or Ahmed, may be common in Malaysia but do not appear in the JPN top-10 tables or in Wikidata.
