By comparison, there have been 109 years in which the first name Lyonel has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2010. In general, parents name their sons Lyonel only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!
