In 2024, the Western European microstate of Monaco welcomed 721 babies — 322 baby girls and 399 baby boys. All but one were born in the maternity ward of Monaco’s single public hospital, the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace. (The odd one out was born at home.)
Notably, only 202 of them were born to residents of Monaco. The other 519 were born to parents from outside the Principality. About 60% of the non-resident parents came from the 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? Rose and Jules.
Here are Monaco’s top 5+ girl names and top 5+ boy names of 2024:
Girl names
- Rose
- Victoria
- Emma
- Louise
- Angelina
- Lina
Boy names
- Jules
- Léo
- Lorenzo
- Noah
- Liam

Some of the names above must have been tied (for a pair of “top 5” lists to contain 6 and 7 names, respectively), but the official news release didn’t indicate where the ties were.
In 2023, the top names in Monaco were Louise and Théo.
