Popular Names in Maryland

Popular names in Maryland for 2023 are led by Olivia and Liam. Both names are also the top national baby names in 2023.

Harper ranks among Maryland's Top 10 baby names but not in the US as a whole, while Dylan, Ethan, and Daniel make the Maryland but not the US Top 10 for boys.

Names connected to political figures and their families are especially common for girls in Maryland, which makes sense for a state that borders the country's capital. Examples include Madison, Malia, and Ruth for girls, and Franklin and Jefferson for boys. The top Presidential names nationally like Jackson, Kennedy, and Lincoln, actually rank lower than average in Maryland.

Millennial and Gen Z favorites such Allison, Brianna, Ashley, and Gabriella are significantly more popular in the Old Line State than they are nationally, along with boy names Connor, Austin, and Dylan.
