Popular baby names in Estonia, 2024 & 2023

Last year, the Baltic state of Estonia (which shares land borders with Latvia and Russia) welcomed 9,690 babies — 4,757 girls and 4,933 boys.

What were the most popular names among these babies? Sofia and Mark.

Here are the county’s top 10 girl names and top 10 boy names of 2024:

Girl names, 2024

  1. Sofia, 79 baby girls
  2. Mia, 62
  3. Emilia, 54 (tie)
  4. Olivia, 54 (tie)
  5. Saara, 49
  6. Emma, 46
  7. Eva, 45
  8. Arabella, 43 (tie)

  9. David, 39
  10. Lukas, 35

The news release noted that Aaron is nearly as popular as Aron (#6), and that, if both spellings of the name had been counted together, Aron/Aaron “would have been the most popular boy’s name for the past seven years.”

It also mentioned that Nora’s “success story began with a sharp increase in popularity in 2017.” I wish it had revealed why Nora became trendy all of a sudden in 2017, though. (Does anyone out there have a theory?)

One year earlier, Estonia welcomed a total of 10,949 babies — 5,386 girls and 5,563 boys. Here are the country’s top 10 girl names and top 10 boy names of 2023:

And what about Maori names specifically?

The top Maori baby names in New Zealand in 2024 — just like in 2023, and 2022 — were Aroha/Te Aroha for girls and Ariki/Te Ariki for boys.

Here are New Zealand’s top 10 Maori girl names and top 10 Maori boy names:

  3. Moana/Te Moana, 84
  4. Anahera/Te Anahera, 66

  6. Nikau, 68
  7. Rawiri, 65
  8. Kiwa, 55
  9. Kahurangi/Te Kahurangi, 52
  10. Manaaki, 51

(Please note that I’ve simplified these lists a bit, because Maori names/words that contain macrons don’t render properly on my site.)

Interestingly, the Maori rankings don’t cover the calendar year 2024, like New Zealand’s national rankings do. Instead, they cover births from July 1, 2024, to June 18, 2025. These dates coincide with Matariki, a.k.a. Maori New Year.
