Meaning
from the French surname/fashion house Christian Dior
The story
Dior is the fashion house worn as a name, the surname of the designer whose New Look remade the postwar silhouette, and it files in the label register our records already chart: Armani, about 27,400, carries its own story here. Dior's record is young and genuinely shared: about 810 in the 2000s, 2,500 in the 2010s, and already 3,700 so far this decade, past the full 2010s with years to run, running about 2,500 girls to 1,200 boys this decade, about 5,300 to 2,100 all-time. The label register states an aspiration the way the title register states a rank: the certificate borrows the shine and the child decides what it means. A couturier's surname, a shared certificate, and a record still mid-fitting: the hem is not finished rising.

Live births in Austria by year of birth, 1984–2025, from Statistik Austria’s first-name statistics; spellings that differ only by special characters are counted together (umlauts stay apart), every name down to a single birth is published, and the count covers babies with Austrian citizenship only until 2009, every baby from 2010, and from 2015 also births abroad to mothers living in Austria. Shares divide by Statistik Austria’s count of live births from 2010, and before that by the file’s own total for the year.

South Australia
last on record 2014
Dior is not on the 2017 record for South Australia, whose registry publishes every name given that year.
The count never rose above 3 in a year, too few to chart.
Births registered in South Australia (not all of Australia) by first name and year of registration, 1944–2017, from the state’s Births, Deaths and Marriages registry, which publishes every name down to a single birth in capitals; a spelling its export repeats inside a year is counted once, and from 2018 only a top 100 is published, so the series ends at 2017.

Not on the record in Mexico City, Puerto Rico, Ireland, New Zealand and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
