Muhammad Surpasses Noah as Most Popular Baby Name in England and Wales
In 2023, Muhammad emerged as the most popular boy's name in England and Wales, with over 4,600 children registered under the name. This marks a significant shift, as it surpasses the previously favored Christian name, Noah, according to the latest data from the United Kingdom's Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The rise of Muhammad is part of a broader trend that includes various spellings of the name, such as Mohammed and Mohammad, all of which appear in the top 100 list for the region. The ONS distinguishes each variation as a separate name, reflecting the diversity in how the name is spelled and used.
Meanwhile, for girls, Olivia continues to hold its position as the most popular name, followed by Amelia and Isla. These names have remained the top three choices for baby girls since 2022, showing a consistent preference among parents.
This shift in naming trends highlights the cultural diversity within England and Wales, with the growing popularity of Muhammad reflecting changing social dynamics and the evolving preferences of parents.
