The top 3 according to 9 votes from people: Hannah/Hanna (girls) · Emma (girls) · Mia (girls). (Updated Mar 13, 2026.)
Sophia for girls and Noah for boys: according to the German Language Society (GfdS), these were the first names most often given in Germany in 2024. Every year the GfdS analyses data from around 750 registry offices, and spelling variants that sound the same, such as Hannah and Hanna, are counted together. Here are both top tens, with each name's share of all first names and its rank the year before.
