And what were the two most popular Maltese names?
Here’s how they’re written in Maltese orthography, with the overdots:
Lucija (pronounced loo-chee-ah), the equivalent of Lucia, was given to 13 baby girls. Ganni (pronounced jah-nee), the equivalent of John, was given to 22 baby boys
Finally, here are Malta’s 2021 rankings, if you’d like to compare last year to the year before.
The country of Germany is located in Central Europe and bordered by nine other countries (including Poland, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, and Denmark).
Last year, Germany welcomed roughly 739,000 babies.
What were the most popular names among these babies? We don’t know for sure, because Germany (like Japan) doesn’t release official baby name rankings. But two unofficial sets of rankings agree that Germany’s top baby names of 2022 were likely Emilia and Noah.
Here are the sources of the two sets of rankings:
The Society for the German Language (GfdS), which obtained data from more than 750 German registry offices. This data accounts for over 92% of all the first names bestowed in Germany in 2022.
Name researcher Knud Bielefeld, who obtained data from registry offices and maternity hospitals in 423 German cities. His data accounts for about 34% of all the babies born in Germany in 2022.
On both lists, differently spelled versions of the same name were combined.
Let’s start with the Society for the German Language (GfdS) list.

So where can you see these long-awaited Canadian baby name rankings for yourself?
Over at Statistics Canada. They’ve published rankings going back to 1991, and — just like the U.S. SSA — they’ve included all names given to at least five babies, of one gender or the other, per year.
Though we regularly see rare indigenous-language names (such as Anangokaa, Timmiak, and Waseskwan) being used in Alberta and Quebec, the only one used often enough in the last three decades to reach that 5-baby threshold nationally was Lucassie, an Inuktitut name given to exactly 5 baby boys in 2007.
(Lucassie is based on the biblical name Luke. Other “Inuktitutized” Christian names include Issacie, Joanasie/Joanassee, Josephie, Markoosie, Pauloosie/Paulassie, Peterosee, Simeonie, and Thomasee. A female example is Elisapie/Elisapee.)
Finally, here are the U.S. rankings for 2021, in case you’d like to compare neighbor to neighbor.
