In Austria, 1 boy named Raian was born in 2025, ranked 1,842nd among boys that year, spellings that differ only by special characters counted together.
The count never rose above 3 in a year, too few to chart.

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.

  • 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.
