Last year, the capital of Poland welcomed more than 29,200 babies.

What were the most popular names among these babies? Zofia and Jan, according to official website of the city of Warsaw.

Here are Warsaw’s top 4 girl names and top 4 boy names of 2023:

Girl names

  1. Zofia, 509 baby girls
  2. Julia, 432
  3. Laura, 406

Boy names

  1. Jan, 678 baby boys
  2. Aleksander, 555
  3. Antoni, 509
  4. Stanislaw, 487

Interestingly, Nikodem — the top boy name in Poland last year — wasn’t among the top boy names in the capital city.

Back in 2015, Warsaw’s top names were also Zofia and Jan.

(Because L-with-a-stroke doesn’t render properly on my site, you’ll have to imagine one exists in the boy names Mikolaj and Stanislaw above.)
