This is a dictionary reading of the spelling, not a bearer-specific claim; French, Albanian, Hebrew and other preferred readings may differ. The separate Jewish calendar noun is not used as the name’s meaning. Original ARPABET: OW1 M ER0.

Published name usage
Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Boys | 11 · preliminary | 1804 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation.

| France | 1965 | Girls | 5 (rounded to 5) | 1994 | Counts are rounded to the nearest multiple of five. Ranks use unrounded publisher counts with randomly ordered ties; equally rounded counts can have different ranks. National coverage excludes Mayotte before 2012. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Automated direction labels are withheld for this rounded-count series. Rank basis: source published. |
| France | 2025 | Boys | 40 (rounded to 5) | 969 | Counts are rounded to the nearest multiple of five. Ranks use unrounded publisher counts with randomly ordered ties; equally rounded counts can have different ranks. National coverage excludes Mayotte before 2012.

| Ireland | 2021 | Boys | 4 | 631 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished. Accent recording changed in 2018; comparisons across that boundary may not describe the same spelling coverage. Counts refer to registrations in the year. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2023 | Girls | 6 | 13462 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
