Popular baby names in Malta, 2021

According to the news site Malta Daily, the Mediterranean island nation of Malta welcomed 4,164 babies last year.

Malta’s top baby names of 2021 were…

Girls Names

  • Emma
  • Mia
  • Ella
  • Valentina
  • Emily

Boy Names

  • Matteo
  • Luca
  • Noah
  • Adam
  • Jake

My source wasn’t explicit about the rankings, so I’ve ordered them here the way they were ordered in the article. I’m guessing that Emma and Matteo were the top choices.

Malta’s government finally began registering Maltese names in late 2020, thanks to a software upgrade that included Maltese font, so the 2021 rankings are the first to take Maltese orthography into account. The four most popular Maltese names last year were…

Maltese names Guze, Ganni, Eliza, Lucija

(These are the Maltese equivalents of John, Joseph, Elizabeth, and Lucia.)

Back in 2018, the top two names in Malta were Emma and Noah.
