Counts come from each country's own records and are not comparable with the US figures above, which cover different years and a different definition of a recorded name. Where a country writes the name several ways, the spellings are added together and the most common is shown. A row marked name registrations is counting something else: Portugal ranks each of a child's two given names separately, so a girl registered Maria Leonor is in both the Maria row and the Leonor row, and that figure is not a number of children.

Soan: rank by region

In 2025, Soan was given 5 times or more in 2 regions of Belgium.

Region Spelling Place Children
Wallonia Soan 101 29
Brussels Soan 225 6

In 2025, with the country taken in 11 areas rather than 3, Soan appears in the lists for Province of Luxembourg (46th), Province of Namur (78th), Province of Hainaut (98th), Province of Liège (147th) and Brussels-Capital Region (225th).

Each of these is the top of a list the statistics office cut off somewhere – Belgium below 5 children – and published nothing after. So a region missing here is one where the name fell outside what was published, not one where it went unused. Places are shared where names tie, and the further down a list a place is, the more names can share it.

Counts include only births registered with the SSA, and names with fewer than five births in a year are not published. The living estimate applies SSA cohort life tables to those births; it counts people born in the United States, so it misses anyone who arrived later and anyone who has left.
