And here’s a sampling of the many names that were bestowed just once in Sonoma last year:

Unique girl namesUnique boy names
Ameyalli, Beliana, Colette, Delphie, Ellora, Fiadh, Gwendolyn, Honorae, Ilisapeci, Jessune, Khilana, Lucibell, Merari, Norma, Oriah, Pixel, Riyana, Soluna, Teteoinnan, Ume, Velexia, Wrenlee, Xochitl, Yetzi, ZantedechiaAriodante, Bruce, Canaan, Dovydas, Endrick, Favian, Gedaliah, Hewitt, Itztli, Jessiah, Kidder, Ledson, Miro, Nash, Orbelin, Paz, Rapha, Sigaserau, Tovius, Uniquo, Ventura, Wicahpi, Xolotl, Yoali, Zianni

Some possible explanations/influences for a few of the above:

  • Ameyalli means “spring, fountain” in Nahuatl.
  • Ariodante is the name of an opera (first performed in 1735) by George Frideric Handel.
  • Itztli refers to an “obsidian blade” in Nahuatl.
  • Teteoinnan is the name of a Nahua deity. (The name means “mother of the gods” in Nahuatl.)
  • Wicahpi means “star” in Lakota.
  • Xolotl refers to the “divine force of lightning and death” (among other things) in Nahuatl.
  • Zantedechia is one letter away from Zantedeschia, the name of a genus of flowering plants. (The calla lily is a member of this genus.) The genus was named after Italian physician/botanist Giovanni Zantedeschi (1773-1846).

Popular baby names in Monaco, 2023

Flag of Monaco
Flag of Monaco

In 2023, the Western European microstate of Monaco welcomed 804 babies — 388 baby girls and 416 baby boys. All of these babies were born in Monaco’s single public hospital, the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace (which was named after Grace Kelly).

Notably, though, only 229 them were born to residents of Monaco. The other 575 were born to non-residents, most of whom came from the nearby French communes of Menton, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, and Beausoleil.

So, what were the most popular names among the (mostly French) babies born in Monaco last year? Louise and Théo.

Here are Monaco’s top 5 girl names and top 5 boy names of 2023:

Girl names

  1. Louise
  2. Chloé
  3. Emma
  4. Jade
  5. Chiara

Boy names

  1. Théo
  2. Gabriel
  3. Léo
  4. Leonardo
  5. Andrea

Last year’s newborns included “the latest member of the Grimaldi family” — a baby girl named Victoire, born in April to Louis Ducruet (the son of Princess Stéphanie, whose brother, Prince Albert, is the current head of state). The House of Grimaldi has been the reigning house of the Principality of Monaco since the late 13th century.

In 2022, the top names in Monaco were Emma and Leonardo.
