British diplomat Charles Hardinge (who served as Viceroy of India from 1910 to 1916) and his wife Winifred had a total of three children:
Edward, b. 1892
Alexander, b. 1894
Diamond, b. 1900
Their oldest was named after Edward, the Prince of Wales (who, in 1901, became King Edward VII).
Their middle child was named after Alexandra, the Princess of Wales (later Queen Alexandra).
And their youngest? She wasn’t named after a royal person, but after a royal person’s horse: Diamond Jubilee, who was owned by the Prince of Wales and won the Epsom Derby about a week before she was born. (Diamond Jubilee was foaled in 1897 — the year of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.)
Mountainous, landlocked Switzerland is located in the middle of Europe and surrounded by five other countries: Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Italy, and France.

The name Malea has risen significantly (among German-speakers almost exclusively) over the last twenty years. Malea debuted in the Swiss data in 2003, vaulted from outside the girls’ top 1,000 all the way to 261st in 2009, rose to the top 100 a few years later, and finally entered the top 10 in 2022. No doubt this rise was fueled by the trendiness of Mia, Emilia, and Mila. (Mia has ranked either #1 or #2 in Switzerland ever since 2011.)
The girls’ top 100 included Yuna (59th), Dua (66th), Melissa (84th), and Ida (97th).
The boys’ top 100 included Nevio (55th), Fabio (71st), Romeo (85th), and Timo (94th).
Switzerland, which is home to about 8.7 million people, has four national languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. Here are the top baby names among the speakers of each of these languages:
Maluna may have been inspired by a German children’s book series featuring a fairy character named Maluna Mondschein. (Her first name is an elaboration of luna, Latin for “moon,” while her last name is German for “moonshine.”) The six books, written by Andrea Schütze, were published from 2014 to 2019.
Finally, here’s a link to Switzerland’s 2021 rankings, if you’d like to compare last year to the year before.
The country of France — which was the most populous country in Europe from the Middle Ages until the early 19th century, and still ranks within the top five today — shares land borders with eight other countries: Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Andorra, and Spain.
Last year, France welcomed about 723,000 babies.
What were the most popular names among these babies? Jade (pronounced zhahd) and Gabriel.

The girls’ top 100 included Alya (53rd), Diane (81st), Maddy (90th), and Suzanne (97th).
The boys’ top 100 included Camille (61st), Mahé (66th), Basile (78th), and Andrea (91st).
Charlie is still rising on the girls’ side — which could explain why the parents of baby boys slightly prefer the spelling Charly (73rd) over the spelling Charlie (80th) these days.
In the capital city of Paris last year, the top boy name was also Gabriel, but the top girl name was Alma instead of Jade. (Jade was tied with Léa for 10th/11th place in Paris.)
Finally, here are France’s 2021 rankings, if you’d like to compare last year to the year before.
The country of Uruguay, located in the southern region of South America, shares land borders with Argentina and Brazil.
According to Uruguay’s Dirección Nacional de Identificación Civil (DNIC), the most popular baby names in the country in 2021 were María and Juan.
Uruguay’s baby name rankings consist of girl and boy names mixed together on a single list. The data mostly represents first-name usage, but does include some second-name usage as well. (This is because the rankings are created from Uruguayan identity card data, and Uruguayans are permitted to add up to two given names to their ID cards.)
That said, here are Uruguay’s top 100+ baby names of 2021:
María, 1,260 babies
María was used 858 times as a first name and 402 times as a second name.
Juan, 1,023
Juan was used 980 times as a first name and 43 times as a second name.

(I went down this far to ensure that at least fifty girl names were included.)
Here are a few names from lower down on the list:
16 babies were named Tabaré, which was the name of former Uruguayan president Tabaré Vázquez (who died in December of 2020).
Tabaré was given to just 2 babies the year before.
6 were named Atahualpa, which was the name of the last emperor of the Inca.
Atahualpa was given to just one baby the year before.
2 were named Cono, perhaps after St. Cono of Italy.
2 were named Giorgian, which is the first name of Uruguayan soccer player Giorgian de Arrascaeta.
2 were named Pampa, which may refer to the Pampas — the grasslands of South America.
The Spanish word pampa comes directly from the Quechua word pampa, meaning “plain, field.”
And, because Uruguay releases all of its baby name data, we can also check out the unique names at the other end of the spectrum. Here’s a selection Uruguay’s single-use baby names of 2021:
In 2020, the top names in Uruguay were Emma and Juan. (Emma managed to beat María/Maria only because Uruguay counts the accented and unaccented forms of names separately in the rankings.)
