Leo, Gabriel, Jade, Emma… Statistics are published each year for names given to newborns. Here is the 2025 ranking, with confirmed trends and seasonal surprises.
The top female names are dominated by short, luminous names. Emma retains her crown, closely followed by Jade, which has risen every year since the mid-2010s.
Notable: Ambre enters the top 10 for the first time, carried by a wave of nature-inspired names. Lucie, the timeless classic, consolidates her place in the ranking.
Among boys, Léo remains firmly at the top after several years of reign. Gabriel and Raphaël confirm the rise of names with Italian and biblical resonance.
Gabin enters the top 10 for boys, continuing a rise that began in 2010. This retro-charming name benefits from renewed interest in grandfather names brought back in style.
The return of the quiet classic. After a decade of short, ultra-modern names, 2025 marks a return to classic but uncommon names: Apolline, Victoire, Léonie for girls; Édouard, Augustin, Côme for boys.
Nature names still going strong. Ambre, Iris, Flora… Parents seek names that evoke the natural world, light and the elements. A strong trend since 2018 that shows no sign of fading.
Unisex names on the rise. Camille, Charlie, Céleste, Eden… The boundary between male and female names continues to fade, especially in large cities.
The influence of film and music. Aria (Game of Thrones), Luna (Harry Potter), Kylian (Mbappé)… Pop culture remains a powerful driver in name choices.

Nour, Amine, Yasmine, Leila… These names carry centuries of poetry, philosophy and civilisation. Discover their deep meanings and history.
Arabic is one of the world's richest languages for building names. Each name often derives from a triliteral root — three consonants that form the heart of meaning. Thus Nour comes from ن-و-ر (light), Karim from ك-ر-م (generosity). This architecture gives Arabic names a unique semantic depth.
Arabic feminine names often evoke the beauty of nature, the light of the moon or the virtues of the soul. Here are the most beautiful ones and their history.
Arabic masculine names often carry cardinal virtues: generosity, wisdom, nobility, courage. Each name is a declaration of intent for the child.
Choosing an Arabic name for your child is also transmitting a millennia-old cultural heritage. Arab civilisation gave the world modern mathematics (algebra, algorithm), astronomy, Avicenna's medicine, Averroès' philosophy and a literature of incomparable richness.
These names today are fully at home in Europe, found in civil registries across all cities, borne by millions whose parents wanted to anchor their child in two cultures at once.
Nour, Amine, Yasmine, Karim… they resonate in French ears and carry the East. It is precisely this dual belonging that makes them beautiful.
