"1–4": when fewer than 5 children got the name in a year, CBS does not publish the exact number, to protect privacy - so some sums are shown as a range.
The data covers Jews, Muslims, Arab Christians and Druze only, and counts the first given name only. CBS merged spelling variants of a name into its most common spelling, and the data refers to people's current name (after name changes).
