Karina by the numbers

For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 2,985 babies in 1995, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1995, about 1 in 640 American girls born that year was called Karina.
