My middle name Johannes was really popular in the 1790s. My first name has, after playing second fiddle for the last 300 years, overtaken my middle name. Erik appears in more books than Johannes in 1993. I was five at the time, and did not appreciate the significance of this event back then.
Ngram viewer is a tool from Google that lets you search for the number of times a word appears in books throughout history. Thanks XKCD for always showing me cool stuff.
