Every second 4 babies are born on our planet - such is the statistics! And what is the most important question parents face? Of course, what name to give your baby! The procedure is not only fascinating, but also very responsible, because the name will remain with a person for life, and scientists have long proven that it affects the character, well-being and even the fate of a person!
Annually, registry offices form 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 a boy was Alexander. The name is beautiful, with a great history, and also has an interesting characteristic, which is indicated in any publication on the meaning of names. In 2012, the leader changed to Artem. “Memories” became very frequent, that is, names from the distant past - Matvey, Nikita, Bogdan, Zakhar, Savely, etc.
To give a name to the born daughter, parents, as a rule, think much longer. Everyone wants the name to be in perfect harmony with the patronymic, surname, not too simple, and at the same time beautiful. Most popular name for girlsAnastasia. By meaning, the owner of this name is very purposeful, will be able to overcome all the hardships that arise throughout life, and will reach the highest peaks. They made an excellent pair of leaders named Alexander. Not far behind the statistics is the name Maria, which is very common in all regions of the country. It is worth mentioning the names of Anna, Elena, Polina and Daria, who close the top five.
But these statistics are based on data from registry offices throughout the country, but polls conducted using the Internet offer us slightly different data. For example, the most popular female name in Russia is Elena, and the male name is the unchanging leader Alexander. It is worth noting that primordially Russian, Old Slavonic names still prevail in our country and become more popular every year, which cannot but rejoice.
And if we look at the situation on a larger scale, that is, find out what is the most popular name in the world? Although the most numerous nation on the planet is the Chinese, the names Li, Wang, Bokin and others are not yet the most common. Everything is much more humane and to some extent even simpler.
Mohammed is the most popular male name in the world. 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 of a strange statistic, given that Christianity is the most numerous and widespread religion in the world. However, the statistics also took into account all derivatives of a given name, that is, Mohammed, Mohammed, etc. Practically inevery Islamic family has a son, Mohammed, and a couple of kids with derivative names, so it's not surprising that the data is as follows. Around the world, there are about 150 million men bearing the name Muhammad.
The most popular name for women in the world is Anna, of course, along with derivatives in foreign languages - Ann, Annie, etc. In every country of our vast planet, this Hebrew name is mandatory. In total, there are about 100 million women with this name in the world. Think about it! That's the population of an entire country! Country Ann!
This is the data given by the statistics for today. However, fashion tends to change and, perhaps, in two or three years the situation will change radically. And before giving your child the most popular name, think about whether he will appreciate your decision in the future?!
