Eiden on the boys’ list caught my attention, as Eiden was also mentioned in the SSA’s press release this year. It’s on the rise both in the U.S. and in Puerto Rico right now.

The person who wrote the press release theorized that the rise of Eiden was being fueled by Wisconsin-based influencer Wyatt Eiden. But the name’s increasing popularity in Puerto Rico — plus the fact that 40% of Eiden’s U.S. usage occurred in four states with large Spanish-speaking populations (TX, CA, NY, and FL) — makes me think the name is being used primarily among U.S.-based Latin Americans (who are probably not watching Wyatt Eiden’s English-language interview/trivia videos on TikTok).

(And now I’m thinking of a recent comment by alex, who noticed that “names that have seen some use in Caribbean Latin America for 20+ years” are starting to pop up in the U.S. data, and wondered if Venezuelan immigration might have something to do with it…)

In 2022, the top names in Puerto Rico were Valentina and Liam.

Finally, what were the most popular baby names in all the other U.S. territories (American Samoa, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands) combined last year? Olivia and Elijah.

Popular baby names in Andorra, 2015 (and earlier)

Flag of Andorra
Flag of Andorra

The mountainous microstate of Andorra is located in the Pyrenees, sandwiched between France and Spain.

Andorra has a population of fewer than 100,000 people — making it more populous than Monaco and Liechtenstein, but less populous than Malta.

The country’s official language is Catalan, but other languages (like French and Spanish) are also spoken.

Though I haven’t been able to find up-to-date baby name rankings for Andorra, I did recently come across four sets of rankings that were slightly older. So here are Andorra’s most popular baby names of 2015, 2013, 2012, and 2011:

2015

In 2015, a total of 602 babies (304 girls and 298 boys) were born in Andorra.

Girl names, 2015Boy names, 2015
1. Alba
2. Janna
3. Lia
4. Aina
5. Ainoa
6. Júlia
7. Laia
8. Lara
9. Maria
10. Martina
1. Lucas
2. Nil
3. Martí
4. Eric
5. Adrià
6. Enzo
7. Liam
8. Rodrigo
9. Alex
10. Biel

Some explanations…

  • Aina, Martí, and Adrià are the Catalan forms of Anna, Martin, and Adrian.
  • Ainoa is based on the Basque name Ainhoa.
  • Laia and Biel are the Catalan diminutives of Eulalia and Gabriel.
  • Nil is derived from Neilos, the name of the Greek god of the Nile river (and also the ancient Greek name of the river itself).
  • Enzo could be short for any of the Italian –enzo names, such as Lorenzo.

2013

In 2013, Andorra welcomed a total of 588 babies (297 girls and 291 boys).

6. Ian
7. Pol

Pol and Jordi are the Catalan forms of Paul and George.

This was the only set of rankings to feature “Àlex,” the Catalan short form of Alexander, as opposed to accent-less “Alex” (which is likely a typo).

2012

In 2012, a total of 661 babies (332 girls and 329 boys) were born in Andorra.

Some explanations…

  • Ona is a short form of Mariona, the Catalan diminutive of Maria.
  • Iker is a Basque name.
  • Arnau is the Catalan form of Arnold.

2011

In 2011, Andorra welcomed a total of 720 babies (353 girls and 367 boys).

According to IBESTAT, the most popular baby names on the Balearic Islands two years ago were Julia and Marc.

(The Balearic Islands are part of Spain. We’ve already seen Spain’s rankings for 2019 and 2020, but I thought this deserved its own post because there’s an island-by-island breakdown.)

Here are the Balearic Islands’ top 10 girl names and top 10 boy names of 2019:

  • Aina – Catalan form of Anna
  • Ainara – a form of Enara, Basque for “swallow” (the bird)
  • Ainhoa – from the name of the town of Ainhoa in France
  • Aitana – from the name of the Aitana mountain range in Spain
  • Margalida – related to Margaret
  • Triana – from the name of the neighborhood of Triana in Seville

Boy names within the top 100 include…

  • Adria – Catalan form of Adrian
  • Jordi – Catalan form of George
  • Iker – Basque for “visitation”
  • Biel – Catalan short form of Gabriel
  • Unai – Basque for “cowherd”

Finally, here are the most popular baby names by island:
