Most Popular Names in France
The most popular names in France for 2023 were Louise — which was last Number 1 in 2015 — and Gabriel, which has been in the top spot every ear bar one since 2015.
Along with Louise, the top girl names in France included Ambre, Alba, Jade, and Emma.
Along with Gabriel, France counted Raphaël, Léo, Louis, and Maël among its top boy names.
As in the US, French names have certain sounds that are fashionable for both boys and girls. There are several male/female counterparts among France's Top 100 baby names, such as Louis and Louise, Léo and Léa, Clément and Clémence, and Camille for both.
The most popular names in France also include many names that enjoy wide popularity throughout Europe and North America. These internationally-popular names include Rose, Mia, and Julia for girls; Hugo, Noah, and Liam for boys.
While there are many traditionally French names in France’s Top 100, Arabic names and Muslim names such as Inaya and Imran are also strongly represented due to France’s comparatively large Muslim — especially North African — population.
Unique French names in the French Top 100 include Manon, Capucine, and Zélie for girls, and Gabin, Baptiste, and Maxence for boys.
