Thanks to an enquiry from our colleagues at RTL 5minutes, the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (STATEC) has provided insight into Luxembourg's most popular baby names of 2021.

A clear tendency towards short names marks the top five of the most popular first names that Luxembourgers chose for their baby girls and boys in 2021. According to STATEC, this is consistent with the trends observed in previous years.

For girls, the number one name remained Emma, same as in 2020, with 59 baby girls being given the name in 2021. In second position, also for a second year in a row, was Mia with 48 newborns being given the name. Sofia also remained in third position (41), followed by Eva (34) and Chloé (31).

For boys, Louis came out on top of the list (60). Noah was also a popular choice (54) and closely followed by Liam (51). Positions four and five went to Leo (45) and Gabriel (44).
