What sets Uri (UR) apart

Names given far more often here than in the rest of Switzerland. The cantons share a name pool – almost every name appears in all of them – so what separates them is proportion, not presence.

Source: Bundesamt für Statistik, Vornamen der Neugeborenen. The same records as the national page, by canton. BFS publishes the four bilingual cantons and trilingual Graubünden split by language; those halves are added back together here, and the language cut keeps them apart. A canton is where the birth was registered. The same caveats as the national figures apply, because these are the same records.
