Mia and Noah Top Swiss Baby Names

Published: 2024-08-23

In 2023, Mia and Noah were the most popular baby names in Switzerland, continuing their reign from previous years.

Mia reclaimed the top spot for girls, pushing Emma to second place, while Noah maintained his lead among boys.

The Swiss Federal Statistical Office reported that Liam and Matteo followed Noah in popularity for boys, and Sofia trailed Mia and Emma for girls.

The trend towards short, vowel-rich names persists, with new entries like Amaya and Lily making it into the top 100. Despite the popularity of these names, the diversity of surnames in Switzerland remains vast, with Müller, Meier, and Schmid being the most common.

However, these surnames account for only a small fraction of the population, highlighting the country's rich variety of family names.
