Every second on our planet 4 babies are born - this is the statistics! And what is the most important question facing parents? Of course, what a name to give your baby! The procedure is not only fascinating, but also very responsible, because the name will remain with the person for life, and scientists have long proved that it affects the character, well-being and even the fate of a person!
Every year, the registry offices create lists that indicate the most common names for girls and boys in descending order. But what name to give the child, popular or rare, is up to the parents to decide. For twenty-two years, the most popular name for the boy was Alexander. The name is beautiful, with a great history, and also has an interesting characteristic, which is indicated in any publication about the meaning of names. In 2012, the leader was replaced by Artem. “Memories,” that is, names from a far past — Matvey, Nikita, Bogdan, Zakhar, Savely, etc., became very frequent.
To to give a name to a born daughter, parents usually think much longer. Everyone wants the name to be in perfect harmony with the patronymic, last name, not too simple, and at the same time beautiful. The most popular name for girls is Anastasia. By value, the owner of this name is very purposeful, will be able to overcome all the hardships that arise throughout her life, and will reach the highest peaks. They made up a wonderful pair of leaders named Alexander. Not far from statistics, the name Maria, which is very common in all regions of the country, lags behind. It is worth mentioning the names Anna, Elena, Polina and Daria, who close the top five.
But this is statistics based on data from the registry offices of the whole country, but polls conducted using the Internet offer us slightly different data. For example, the most popular female name in Russia for women is Elena, and the male name is the unchanging leader Alexander. It is worth noting that the original Russian, Old Slavonic names in our country still prevail and become more popular every year, which cannot but rejoice.
And if you look at the situation on a larger scale, that is, find out what is the most popular name in the world? Although the largest nation on the planet is the Chinese, the names Lee, Wang, Bokin and others are not yet the most common. Everything is much more humane and to some extent even simpler.
The most popular male name in the world is Muhammad. The name is Muslim and is given to a person in honor of the great prophet Muhammad, the founder of the Islamic religion. A bit strange statistics, given the fact that Christianity is the most numerous and widespread religion in the world. However, in statistics, all derivatives on this behalf were also taken into account, that is, Mohammed, Mohmed, etc. Almost every Islamic family has a son, Muhammad, and a couple of babies with derivative names, so it is not surprising that the data are as follows. Worldwide, there are about 150 million men bearing the name Mohammed.
The most popular name for women in the world is Anna, naturally, along with derivatives in foreign languages - Ann, Annie, etc. In every country of our huge planet, this Hebrew name is found without fail. In total, there are about 100 million women with that name in the world. Think it over! This is the population of the whole country! Country of Ann!
These are the statistics given today. However, fashion has a tendency to change, and perhaps within two to three years the situation will radically change. And before giving your child the most popular name, think about whether he will appreciate your decision in the future ?!
