Europe’s Most Popular Given Female Names

Map of Europe with Most Popular Given Female Names per Country

Same exercise like yesterday but about the most popular female names in Europe. As you can see, the male and female name patterns don’t necessarily overlap. I’m very surprised by the abundance of Marias in Scandinavia, for some reason I always thought all women there were named Agnetha Fältskog. Another prejudiced fantasy down the drain! France, Luxembourg and Norway should really enter an alliance – both their most popular female and male names match. Germany was the biggest surprise, instead of Gertrude, we have an epidemic of Mias. I think those guys have a secret Latin fetish. Go figure!

Data is data and it’s very hard to argue with it, so we haven’t much choice here.

Hi! I visit this site. I just want to say that Ireally a fan of your maps, they are great. I like it so much. Thank you. Chester Escorts

France, Luxembourg and Norway: on the map it's Belgium, not Luxembourg!

France, Luxembourg and Norway share the same most popular female and male name, Belgium's most popular male name is Noah not Luca(s), therefore it is not mentioned in my suggestion.

I'm really a fan of your maps, they are great. But I can see a small imperfection here. Giulia is the Italian translation of Julia , so Italy and Poland should have similar colour.

Thanks, Łukasz, I somehow missed that. I will fix it in the coming days.
