Statistics

Little running in France before the Second world war, this first name reappeared after many centuries of lapse of memory in the Années 1950. Thierry followed the course of many other first names “of mode”: initially employed in rather easy mediums, even aristocratic, Thierry started to diffuse itself during the years 1950.

It was the first first name given for a short period in the middle of the Années 1960, undoubtedly under the effect of the diffusion of the television serial Thierry the Sling. The record year was 1964 with 25.266 boys who received this first name. It then declined little by little during the Années 1970. It is today a rare first name for the new-born babies (495e position of the male first names in 2004).
