This list is complete to the source's own threshold: every name held by 5 or more people in Melilla is here. The percentage not covered is people whose name is held by fewer than 5 people there.

Source: INE, Censo anual de poblacion - frecuencia de nombres por provincia. Residents of Spain counted by the forename they hold, from the annual population census, not by year of birth. This is a count of people alive and living in the province on the census date, whenever they were born, and cannot be compared with the birth figures elsewhere on the site. A name held by fewer than five people in a province is withheld, and the source prints at most 5,000 names per province and sex.
