Although the Social Security Administration keeps track of the official baby name records [1] after each year has ended, the top names of 2019 [2] are basically here, thanks to data from BabyCenter [3] — which comes from the nearly 600,000 parents who shared their baby's name with the site in 2019.
"Sophia is celebrating a whole decade as the top choice for girls. On the boys list, Liam finally pushed out Jackson after six consecutive years as the most popular name [4]," BabyCenter shares. "Arabic names are on the rise this year, with Muhammad and Aaliyah [5] entering the top 10 and nudging Mason and Layla off . . . Muhammad is one of the most popular names [6] in the world and has been a steady climber in our top names lists [7] over the years. While non-Muslim families have a seemingly limitless range of possible names to choose from, tradition is still very important for Muslim families, including the custom of naming a son after the Prophet."
Keep scrolling to see what the top 10 names lists looked like in 2019 for both boys and girls, according to BabyCenter's data.
