This dataset was extracted from the original babynamesIL package (versions prior to 0.1.0) which used a different CBS source file. The 1948 data represents the first full year of Israeli statehood.

Note that the "Other" sector was not reported in 1948 data.

Note

This dataset uses "Christian" (not "Christian-Arab") as the sector name, matching the terminology from the original data source.
