In a stark warning about the effects of migration on Western Europe, it has been revealed that Mohammed was the most popular name given to newborn baby boys in three German states last year.
The name, typically given to Muslim boys, was the most popular choice for parents in the states of Berlin, Bremen, and Hamburg. In Hesse, it reached second place, and in North Rhine-Westphalia, it came third.
With regards to the whole of Germany, Mohammed—and its differently spelled variants—moved up from 15th place in 2023 to 11th in 2024.
As we recently reported, Muhammad was the most popular name for baby boys in England and Wales in 2023, and it has consistently ranked among the top 10 since 2016.
