The country of Austria, home to nearly 9 million people, is located in Central Europe and shares a border with eight other countries (including Germany, Italy, and Switzerland).
Last year, Austria welcomed 82,627 babies — 40,060 girls and 42,567 boys.
What were the most popular names among these babies? Emma and Maximilian.
Here are Austria’s top 25 girl names and top 25 boy names of 2022:
Which names were the trendiest among baby boys in Canada last year?
Below you’ll find Canada’s fastest-rising and highest-debuting boy names of 2022.
Just keep in mind that we can’t directly compare rises and debuts in the Canadian data to rises and debuts in the U.S. data, because Canada releases a lot less data than the U.S. does. (For more details, see the post on Canada’s rising girl names.)
Rises (absolute)
Here are the boy names that saw the biggest increases in usage in terms of absolute change (numbers of babies) from 2021 to 2022:
Robin, rose from 129 to 220 baby boys (+91)
Walker, 238 to 300 (+62)
Muhammad, 535 to 595 (+60)
Casey, 153 to 206 (+53)
Leon, 294 to 347 (+53)
I’m so intrigued by Robin! Anyone know why it got such a boost last year?
Rises (relative)
Here are the boy names that saw the biggest increases in usage in terms of relative change (percentages of babies) from 2021 to 2022:
Mattheo, rose from 5 to 18 baby boys (260%)
Shepherd, 9 to 28 (211%)
Affan, 7 to 21 (200%)
Ghaith, 5 to 15 (200%)
Abdallah, 7 to 20 (1.86%)
Debuts
Finally, here are the boy names that debuted most impressively in Canada’s baby name data in 2022:
Rabaab, 14 baby boys
Navaan, 13
Zoraver, 11
Bir, 10
Kabiel, 10
Kabiel was tied with Kyland and Valor, both of which were also given to 10 babies.
Other boy-name debuts included Dutton (9), Halston (8), Astro (7), Rip (6), and Laker (5).
Dutton and Rip were no doubt influenced by the TV series Yellowstone, which follows the wealthy, ranch-owning Dutton family of Montana. The foreman of the Duttons’ ranch is named Rip Wheeler. Both Dutton and Rip have been on the rise in the U.S. recently as well.
And if you’re curious about the decreases, Canada’s fastest-falling boy names in terms of absolute change were Logan, Benjamin, and Noah, and in terms of relative change were Bauer, Larry, and Eamon.
The vast country of Canada is located in North America and shares the world’s longest international land border with its neighbor to the south, the United States.
Last year, Canada (excluding Yukon) welcomed 351,679 babies — 48.6% of which were girls, 51.4% of which were boys.
What were the most popular names among these babies? Olivia and Noah.

The names in Canada’s top 100 that rose the fastest from 2021 to 2022 were:
Wren, Blake, Eloise, Freya, Athena, and Gabriella (girl names)
Leon, Ali, Cooper, Rowan, Charlie, Luke, and Sebastian (boy names)
And here’s a selection of names from the other end of the spectrum — names that were given to just 5 babies each in Canada last year:
Sweden, home to over 10 million people, is easily the most populous of the five Nordic countries. (Denmark, Finland, and Norway each contain between 5 and 6 million people; Iceland contains fewer than half a million.)
Last year, Sweden welcomed 104,734 babies. What were the most popular names among these babies? Astrid and William.
Here are Sweden’s top 50 girl names and top 50 boy names of 2022:
Astrid and William rose from 9th place and 2nd place (respectively) in 2021 to dethrone former #1 names Alice and Noah in 2022.
The girls’ top 100 included Sally (53rd), Tuva (65th), Idun (86th), and Eira (98th).
The boys’ top 100 included Sixten (67th), Vide (81st), Folke (86th), and Algot (90th).
The names in Sweden’s top 100 that rose the fastest from 2021 to 2022 were Ronja and Ture. Ture’s rise was particularly impressive:
2022: 251 baby boys named Ture in Sweden [rank: 58th]
2021: 163 baby boys named Ture in Sweden [rank: 84th]
2020: 175 baby boys named Ture in Sweden [rank: 81st]
2019: 171 baby boys named Ture in Sweden [rank: 84th]
The names that saw the steepest drops in usage were Emilia and Sigge.
Finally, some strange news:
Statistics Sweden will stop producing name statistics as of 2024. The reason for this is that Statistics Sweden will prioritize the production of other statistics.
So, will these 2022 rankings be the last set of Swedish rankings we see for a while? (Perhaps a long while?)
How interesting that, not long after Canada decides to begin releasing national rankings, Sweden decides to stop releasing national rankings…
