Sophia and Noah Top 2025 German Baby Name Rankings

#Berlin, #Germany
Sophia and Noah remain Germany's most popular baby names in 2025 as the name Leo enters the top ten following the election of Pope Leo XIV. Researcher Knud Bielefeld analyzed 260,000 birth registrations to find that cultural icons like Taylor Swift and Ozzy Osbourne are increasingly influencing parents.The data shows a growing trend toward individualization with the most common names representing less than one percent of all newborns. While traditional favorites lead the national rankings, regional preferences vary with Felix topping lists in Bavaria and Frieda leading in the north.
