Since 2010, the top two names in Slovakia have predominantly been Sofia and Jakub. (Adam reached the top spot for boys in 2014 and 2015; Ema and Nina reached the top spot for girls in 2020 and 2021, respectively.)
From 2003 to 2009, the top two names were Viktória and Samuel.
Finally, here are Slovakia’s 2022 rankings, if you’d like to compare last year to the year before.
The South American country of Uruguay doesn’t publish an annual list of top baby names per se, but Uruguay’s Dirección Nacional de Identificación Civil (DNIC) does release a list of all the names used among people who obtained their Uruguayan identity card for the first time within a given year.
As we saw in 2021 and 2020, the DNIC rankings combine all names (male and female) together on a single list, but don’t combine different forms of the same name (e.g., Maria and María) into single entries on that list. Most notably, the rankings account for not just first-name usage, but also second-name usage (as Uruguayans are allowed to include a maximum of two given names on their identity cards).
So now that we have all that out of the way… the DNIC data reveals that the most-registered names in the country in 2022 were María and Juan.
Here are Uruguay’s top 100+ registered names of 2022:
María, 1,170 babies
Juan, 1,138
Maria, 1,108

Here are a few names from lower down on the list:
80 babies were named Celeste, which is the nickname of Uruguay’s national soccer team.
73 babies were named Aylen, and roughly two hundred more were given a different spelling of the name (e.g., Ayelen, Aylén, Ayelén, Aylín, Aylin). This is a Mapuche name with several possible meanings, including “ember” and “clear.”
38 babies were named Coromoto, which comes from a Marian title.
15 babies were named Inti, which is the Quechua word for “sun.”
9 babies were named Amaru, which is the Quechua word for “snake.”

5 babies were named Yamandú, which was the name of a historical Guarani chief.
4 babies were named Chiquinquira, which comes from a Marian title.
Two others were named Aurora de la Chiquinquira and Leomarys de la Chiquinquira.

Following the Massacre of Salsipuedes in 1831, Tacuabé and several other Charrúa prisoners were taken to France to be put on exhibition.

2 babies were named Leunam, which is Manuel spelled backwards.
2 babies were named Pérola, which means “pearl” in Portuguese.
2 babies were named Uruguay.
And, because Uruguay releases all of its baby name data, we can also check out the unique names at the bottom of the list. Here’s a selection Uruguay’s single-use baby names of 2022:
The country of Bulgaria, home to over 6.4 million people, is located in Southeastern Europe. It shares a border with five other countries: Romania, Turkey, Greece, Serbia, and North Macedonia.
Bulgaria welcomes tens of thousands of babies every year. Last year, the most popular names among Bulgaria’s babies were Viktoria and Aleksandar.
Here are Bulgaria’s top 3 girl names and top 3 boy names of 2023:
Girl names
Viktoria, 589 baby girls

What other names have topped the rankings within the last few years? Below are Bulgaria’s most popular baby names of 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019.
2022
In 2022, a total of 56,917 babies (27,813 girls and 29,104 boys) were born in Bulgaria.
From the early 1900s to the late 1960s, Madonna was one of the top 1,000 girl names in the United States. In terms of rankings, it was most popular in the 1930s; in terms of raw numbers of births, it was most popular in the ’50s and ’60s.
The name has been in decline ever since, but it did see a sudden spike in usage in 1985:
1987: 61 baby girls named Madonna
1986: 70 baby girls named Madonna
1985: 146 baby girls named Madonna
1984: 63 baby girls named Madonna
1983: 23 baby girls named Madonna
In fact, it almost landed back inside the top 1,000 that year. (It ranked 1,033rd, just seven babies shy of 1,000th place.)
Here’s a visual:
Usage of the baby name Madonna
What gave it a boost?
Mononymous pop superstar Madonna (birth name: Madonna Louise Ciccone).
The singer was born into a Catholic family in Michigan in 1958. She was named after her mother. (Her five siblings are named Anthony, Martin, Paula, Christopher, and Melanie.)
Madonna rose to fame in the mid-1980s with a string of catchy hits:
“Holiday,” which peaked at #16 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart in January of 1984
“Borderline,” which peaked at #10 in June of 1984
“Lucky Star,” which peaked at #4 in October of 1984
“Like a Virgin,” which peaked at #1 for six weeks starting in December of 1984
“Material Girl,” which peaked at #2 in March of 1985
“Crazy for You,” which peaked at #1 in May of 1985
It was written for the movie Vision Quest, in which Madonna had a cameo.
“Angel,” which peaked at #5 in June of 1985
“Into the Groove,” which was never technically released as a single
It was featured in the movie Desperately Seeking Susan, in which Madonna had a leading role.
“Dress You Up,” which peaked at #5 in October of 1985
She also got a lot of exposure on MTV. One of her most memorable MTV moments was the suggestive “Like a Virgin” performance at the very first Video Music Awards (in September of 1984):
In 1991, during a Vanity Fair interview, Madonna posed the question: “How could I be anything else but what I am having been named Madonna?”
Her name is based on the word madonna (which meant “my lady” in Old Italian). Today it’s associated with the Virgin Mary — hence its usage as a given name in Catholic families — but, centuries ago, it was simply a polite form of address similar to madame or milady. (Madonna’s first child, a daughter born in 1996, was also given a Virgin Mary-associated name: Lourdes.)
What are your thoughts on the name Madonna? Would you use it?
P.S. Coincidentally, the primary male characters in two of Madonna’s early movies — Vision Quest and Who’s That Girl — had nearly the same (rather uncommon) first name: Louden/Loudon.
