The mountainous micro-state 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.

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).

Are you a car-lover looking for baby names that contain the word CAR?
If so, here’s a long list of options to choose from!
Top baby names with CAR
First, a quick rundown of the most popular names with the letter sequence “c-a-r,” according to the current U.S. baby name data.
Top girl names with “c-a-r”
Top boy names with “c-a-r”
Scarlett Caroline Carmen Scarlet Carter Carolina Carly Scarlette Cara Carsyn
Carter Carson Carlos Oscar Ricardo Carmelo Carl Cartier Giancarlo Carlo
Now here are the same names again, but this time around I’ve added definitions, variant forms/spellings, and links to popularity graphs.
Cara
The name Cara comes either from the Italian word cara, meaning “beloved” (which is how it’s used in the name Caramia), or the Irish word cara, meaning “friend” (as in the case of Cara Delevingne).
The name is also sometimes spelled Carra, Carah, Carrah, and Caragh.
The “carl” element of all seven names above — Carl, Carlo, Carlos, Carly, Carolina, Caroline, and Giancarlo — can be traced back to the Germanic name Karl, which meant “freeman” (i.e., not a serf or slave).
Feminine forms of these names include Carla, Carlota, and Carlotta. Diminutive forms include Carlito and Carlitos.
Variant forms of Caroline include Carolyn, Carolynn, and Carolyne.
The name Carly is also sometimes spelled Carlee, Carley, Carleigh, Carlie, Carli, or Carlei.
Carmelo + Carmen
The name Carmelo was derived from the Marian title “Our Lady of Carmel.” The Biblical place-name Carmel means “garden” in Hebrew.
The name Carmen is a variant form of Carmel that was influenced by the Latin word carmen, meaning “song.”
Other forms of Carmelo include Carmela, Carmello, and Carmella. Carmel itself is also used as a name.
Carter
The name Carter comes from the English surname that originally referred to someone who’s occupation was transporting goods by cart or wagon.
Cartier
The name Cartier — which is closely associated with the French jewelry brand — comes from a French surname that has several possible derivations. In some cases, Cartier is synonymous with Carter (see above). In other cases, it refers to a location.
Carson + Carsyn
The name Carson comes from a Scottish surname of unknown derivation.
Variant spellings of the name include Carsyn, Carsen, Carsin and Carsynn.
Oscar
The origin of the name Oscar isn’t known for certain. If it comes from Old Irish, it’s made up of elements meaning “deer” and “friend.” (The second element, cara, is the same one the gave rise to the name Cara.) If it comes from Old English, on the other hand, it’s comprised of elements meaning “god” and “spear.”
Ricardo
The name Ricardo is made up of Germanic elements meaning “ruler” and “hardy.”
A variant form of the name is Riccardo. Feminine forms include Ricarda and Riccarda.
Scarlett, Scarlet + Scarlette
The name Scarlett comes from the English surname that originally referred to someone who was employed as the maker or seller of a bright (often red-colored) woolen cloth called scarlet.
It was put on the map by fictional character Scarlett O’Hara in the late 1930s.
The name is also sometimes spelled Scarlet (like the color itself), Scarlette, Scarlotte, or Scarlytt. Modern Hispanic variants include Scarleth, Escarlet, Escarlett, and Escarleth.
(Before we leave this section, I just wanted to note — for all my fellow lefties out there — that both Cara and Carter are typed entirely with the left hand on a standard QWERTY keyboard.)
More names with CAR
So, what other names have CAR in them? Here are some less-common choices. (Most of these come directly from the SSA’s baby name data.)
Some of these names could be considered variants of the more popular CAR names, though it’s hard to tell. For instance, Caralynn — is it a form of Caroline? Is it Cara + Lynn? (Maybe a bit of both?) Others are non-traditional spellings of more common names, such as Karim, Karen, and Cornelia.
