Source methodology

Municipal-register births in 2025. Istat does not correct source spelling, transcription, or category inconsistencies. All-uppercase source spellings are deterministically converted to Unicode title case while preserving punctuation. The official endpoint order defines sequential rank; the first 50 rows per category are retained with exact published counts.
