I’d like to thank reader Daniele, who not only alerted me that Italy’s rankings came out early this year, but also generously offered explanations for a few of the fastest-rising names: Sole, Soleil, and Sophie.
Sole (Italian for “sun”), which was rarely used in the early 2000s, started picking up steam in the mid-2010s. Last year, it jumped into the top 50 for the first time. Daniele said that Sole’s rise “has been fueled by a few celebrity baby names.”
Sophie and Soleil (French for “sun”) are linked to influencers/TV personalities Sophie Codegoni and Soleil Sorge. Both women participated in the 6th season (2021-2022) of Grande Fratello VIP, which is the celebrity version of Grande Fratello (Italy’s Big Brother).
Soleil Sorge had become famous a few years earlier when she appeared on the 21st season (2016-2017) of the dating reality TV show Uomini e Donne (translation: Men and Women). Her name debuted in the Italian data in 2017:
2022: 474 baby girls named Soleil in Italy
2021: 144 baby girls named Soleil in Italy
2020: 98 baby girls named Soleil in Italy
2019: 104 baby girls named Soleil in Italy
2018: 78 baby girls named Soleil in Italy
2017: 74 baby girls named Soleil in Italy [debut]
2016: unlisted
2015: unlisted
(Italy’s baby name data — just like the U.S. data — includes only names given to five or more babies per year.)
Thank you so much, Daniele! :)
Other names currently on the rise in Italy include:
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:
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…
