- In this data visualization video I look at the most popular baby boy names each year since 1880 until this year. The numbers for this year, 2023, are projected using the previous years. This data comes directly from Social Security Administration. From classic names that have stood the test of time to modern monikers that capture the contemporary spirit, this video is a fascinating dive into the history and trends of boy names over the last 143 years. 📜✨
Each reading represents the last 12 months of names registered with the Social Security Administration in the US. This means that these names may not apply in most English speaking countries.

The title should read "Most popular Boy names in north american culture!"
Jayden is a very American name, as is Brandon
Or... OR... read the description of things and you would know it is just the U.S. 👍🏻👌🏻🖖🏻
@@Obelov This guy is defending every inch of description, must be really a tough thing to do 😂😂😂
I can't believe I have the most popular boy's name today
Lots of biblical names, even to this day. Interesting.
More nowadays
In 1880 I see 4. In 1980 I see 8, and even in 2023 I still see 8.
Sometimes they’re chosen because people are religious, and sometimes it’s just because they’re plain, pleasant-sounding names with perhaps some family history. If you saw “Ezekiel” or “Rahab”, things would really be getting biblical.
I’m just bemused because my name never seems to show up. I guess it’s never caught on in the States.
First forty years are super stable
Also, an important difference between 1800's and 2010 is the relative difference between first and last place
William keeps trying to out compete John, but John is just not having it! William keeps getting close though!
8:21 And then suddenly William jumps out of no where and finally runs faster than John!
Bike is short for Bichael
We have gone from John Smith to Liam Noah! what a shame!!!
Liam Neeson caused that one.
“I always come back”
My name: *sharply falls from the list in 1978*
When the numbers increase a bit, then a decrease a bit its a little like inhaling and then exhaling.
James and John!!!
My name never appeared once 😢
I’m surprised how popular my name was in the 70’s and not so much the 80’s….in saying that I love my name. Peace ✌🏻
Jason?
Yep that’s me 😊
hell yea
My name is so rare its not on the list
My name is William so I'm in 9th place
Mohammed Li😂
Wait you mean Brundon wasn't the most popular baby name in 1984?
I love my name...F all the rest 🤣
Sep 1994 John was knocked off of the list. He reigned supreme from many a decade.
You mean a century
@@arias2026 What is a century but merely ten decades? I would say ten is a large enough number to count as many.
Every name is known
Jesus: how about me.... 😢😢
Well, if it was Latin America it would probably be in the top ten during the entire time.
It’s funny how anglophone Christians always seem to think that naming their kids after the son of God is disrespectful, whereas those of latinate descent are less inhibited. Likewise, Muslims (usually quite touchy about religious respectfulness) are quite happy to borrow the name of their prophet.
Michael is slowly dying
Ethan what a beaufitul name
Ethan is from Etheast
After Ethan Hunt, ie the Mission Improbable hero.
In spanish that name is relationated to "etanol", is a famous chemical compound XD
But I didn't know that!!! (talking about english)
@@imho2278Eh? To me it just sounds like a normalized name.
i have a rare name
armando
What are these parents thinking calling their kids Theodore in the 2000's are they a British family in 1800's?
What wrong with that
Liam is even more old fashioned. So is Noah and Elijah.
@@DefaultFlamel’m guessing that people naming their kids “Liam” are mostly action movie fans.
@@DefaultFlame Liam is not an old fashioned name
@@user-yg8sr4wv4x Liam is as old as the Bible.
Все мы знаем, что самое лучшее имя - это Евлампий!
Ahmed? 🤔 In Europe.
Where's Nelly
Did you read the video's title ?
How did you know? 🙄
It’s in the description
Why do some decline a lot? Are those deaths?
No it's just that people either stopped giving their baby that name as often or another name started being given a lot more often.
@@jasonhatt4295 look how the numbers go down in some of them
They subtract
No, the author just messed it up - apparently, any name outside of the top 10 is always set to 0. So, any name leaving top 10 drops to half, then it is replaced by another name which has started at 0 and then grows to +- the original count.
I am really surprised that nobody discussed it here, especially the last 20 years are almost unwatchable with names wrongly jumping back and forth 😐
Fashion. Plus, there’s a vicious circle effect; when a name that used to be popular stops being used so much, it starts to sound old-fashioned - and who wants to give their kid an old man name?
Cross-referencing the post-1920 names to a list of most successful Hollywood film stars and cartoon characters for each year would be an interesting exercise.
(And I mean, there was a sudden brief jump for “Logan” in recent years. Were people actually calling their kids after Wolverine?)
Don't TOUCH me!

Never even was part of it in the U.S.
In USA*
Learn to read the description of things dude... its all right there...
When World War III isn’t far from now:
Smh. Riiiiiight. Only been hearing nut jobs say that since the 70s...
In USA :/
Yes. The description says that...
Hard to believe Judas never made the list.
There was a boy at my school named Lukas which is kind of similar in that it wasn't on the list the year he was born (he was at least several years younger than me). I liked that because his parents were creative in naming him and his teacher never had to call him by his last name (Jacob I remember there were like 3 or 4 boys in the class with the name and Ethan had like at least 2).
@@julianurbaszewski4055Yeah, Lukas is a good choice. Distinctive enough to stand out, not so unusual as to get the kid teased, and shortens neatly to a single syllable when you need that.
Pretty much shows which movies the mums were watching at the time. Logan's run, etc. There was also a huge rise in the name Harrison after Raiders of the Lost Ark, ie, Harrison Ford.
I was thinking of X-men . . .
Where's Mohammed
Not in the U.S.
where's Muhamed on the list ?
Read the description...
what happened to Ringo
where is allah and mohhammmmmmeeeddd ?? XD
This is in the US also did they say most popular names in Islam? No.
@@RiverUBS Popular names in Islam wtf is this even supposed to mean ?
Islam is not a territory bruh
@@Lyothere I mean popular names that Islamic people have.
@@RiverUBS Muslims have the same names that every other people have you know that right ?
@@Lyothereso what? Who cares. I'd be super interested in top names of Catholics... I would be all whiny and sensitive about someone asking that...
So cut the nonsense.
I think this channel is biased.
Or just read the description of things and ull know exactly what it's about before u go and say dumb comments like you did here....
Interesting that Donald was a popular name in 1946 (even though the only Donald I know born in 1946 was Donald Trump).
🙄🙄🙄😵💫🤫🤫🤫
Include Muhammad and see what happens
US data, so a proportionately fairly small Muslim immigrant population. It also tends to be pulled back in these charts because there are multiple variant spellings. (Compare “John”, “Jon”, “Jonn”, “Johan”…)
