Devin by the numbers

For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 6,217 babies in 1998, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1995, about 1 in 320 American boys born that year was called Devin.
