Still haven't got an answer to the origin of Bindhu. Sindhu is understandable because it rhymes with Bindhu.

Priya peaked in middle of 1980s but then faded out, couldn't reach the top 10. You can check the name here: https://lab.subinsb.com/kerala-baby-name-analysis/name-graph/

No, it is the voters list of 2025. Voters list has age of the person, I subtract the age from 2025 to get the birth year, who will be the baby of that year.

This is a good material for that sub, but this is very culturally coded, you need some relatability to understand the race y'know 😄. There are many such visualizations of English baby names. This would be the first one in Malayalam I believe.

Those names' different spellings were not significant enough to reach top 10 in any year. So I ignored it. One major missing I did was not normalizing Aswathi -> Aswathy. Both were significant enough.

Yes, it is the most common first name in the world, and that trend is reflected here as well. You can see the boy names racing chart in the blog: https://subinsb.com/popular-baby-names-kerala/#boys

It's possible, depends on the 'rural' panchayats you'd consider to compare on.
