Let's spill the beans on the hottest baby names in Saxony, shall we? In the year 2024, the German Language Society (GfdS) – yep, those folks in Wiesbaden – announced that the top dogs were none other than Mia and Emil. Emma and Oskar came in a close second, while Frida and Mateo fought it out for the third spot. Interestingly, in 2023, the crown went to Hanna and Emil. Across Germany, Sophia and Noah continued to lead the pack.
So, what's so special about the GfdS, anyway? Since 1977, these whizzes have been digging up the dirt on baby names in about 750 registration offices, sifting through almost 900,000 name registrations to give us a lowdown on nearly 92% of the first names doled out in Germany that year. The society reported their findings, with the usual fanfare.
Now, if you're curious about Saxony itself, it's a fine place, home to the city of Dresden. And guess what? The baby name scene here seems to have its own flavor. For instance, in 2024, the girly favorites in Dresden/Saxony were Mia, Emma, and Frida, while the boys were all about Emil, Oskar, and Mateo. Compare that to the rest of Germany, where Sophia and Noah prevailed.
In 2023, Hanna and Emil ruled the roost in Saxony, hinting at a not-so-secret affection for the name Emil in the region. The enlightening data comes straight from the GfdS, which crunches the numbers from around 750 registry offices across the country, ensuring a pretty comprehensive snapshot of the naming trends.
