Official government rankings
KiddosNames.com brings together the official baby name rankings published each year by government statistical offices across Europe and North America. Every name list on this site comes directly from authoritative national sources — including Statistik Austria, the German Society for Name Research (GfDS), the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS), the French national statistics institute INSEE, the Norwegian Statistics Bureau (SSB), and the Social Security Administration (SSA) in the United States, among others.
Choosing a name for your child is one of the most meaningful decisions parents make. A name carries history, culture, and identity. Whether you are looking for a timeless classic like Emma or Noah, a nature-inspired choice like Aurora or Leo, or a name rooted in the traditions of a specific country, KiddosNames helps you explore what other families are choosing right now — backed by real data, not guesswork.
Each name entry includes its official rank for the selected year, the etymological meaning traced to its language of origin, and a short historical description explaining where the name comes from and why it has endured across generations. Origins are classified by linguistic family — Germanic, Latin, Hebrew, Greek, Celtic, Norse, Slavic, and more — so you can filter by cultural background as well as popularity.
The data is refreshed automatically every week via an open-source pipeline that queries each country's official registry directly. Where governments publish their statistics with a delay (as most do — birth data for a given year is typically released six to twelve months later), the most recent available year is shown automatically. New country rankings are added as they are released by each national statistics authority.
