Marie is back in the top ten
What is striking about girls’ names is that Hanna or Hannah is on the decline. While the name held the top spot three years earlier and second place in 2021, it has now slipped to fifth place. Lina and Mila swapped places, Ella and Klara or Clara are still in eighth and ninth place in the ranking. Marie, however, made it back into the top ten, as did Henry in the boys.

In general, there is little movement in the lists of names. Among the boys, Finn and Paul are fourth and fifth.

Louis or Luis is the ninth most popular boy name ahead of Henry.
Short with bright vowels
According to the GfdS, many of the names meet current trends: They are short, have many bright vowels such as e and I, and end in a. Most names also begin with E, M, and L. This applies to 13 of the top 20 names.
The GfdS has been publishing its list since 1977. The information is based on data from more than 750 registry offices, which submitted almost a million individual names. More than 90 percent of all names assigned in the past year are thus recorded.
