Greenland’s top baby names of 2022, on the other hand, are still unknown at this point. Why? Because whoever edited the country’s English-language statistical booklet, Greenland in Figures 2023 [PDF], forgot to update the small section about baby names on page seven. :)

In 2021, the top baby names in Denmark were Alma and Oscar, the top baby names in the Faroes were Lea/Lív and Jónas, and the top baby names in Greenland were Lea/Luna and Aputsiaq/Marco.

Update, Jul. 2024: Greenland’s top baby names of 2022 — Inuk and Leo for boys, Aviana and Ivalu for girls — were finally included in Greenland’s 2024 [PDF] booklet. :)
