Name researcher - Emilia and Noah are Hesse's most popular baby names
Emilia and Noah were the most popular first names for newborn babies in Hesse in 2023. This is according to statistics published on Friday by name researcher Knud Bielefeld. The two names also top the nationwide hit list of the name researcher, who says he has evaluated more than 280,000 birth registrations from all over Germany this year. This corresponds to around 40 percent of all newborns. 63 percent of the data comes from registry offices, the remaining 37 percent from maternity clinics.
Sophia and Emma were the second and third most popular first names for girls in Hesse, while the names Theo and Emil were particularly popular for boys after Noah in first place.
Knud Bielefeld has regularly published a ranking of the most popular baby names of the year since 2005. The name researcher also compiles a hit list of the most popular second names. Here, Sophie and Alexander are at the top of the list nationwide.

Emilia and Noah's popularity extends beyond Hesse, as they also ranked first in Knud Bielefeld's nationwide list, which is based on evaluations of over 280,000 birth registrations from across Germany. Frankfurt on the Main, being a city in Hesse, might also be home to parents choosing these popular first names for their babies. The city of Ahrensburg, located in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein, might have parents considering less common baby names, as it does not necessarily follow the trends set by Hesse or Germany as a whole. Bielefeld, known as a city in the northern German state of Lower Saxony, might be home to parents who are keen on unique first names for their children, as they might prefer names not found at the top of the popular lists.
