Muhammad has consolidated its place as the most popular name for boys born in England and Wales, topping the list for the third year in a row.
About 6,000 babies were given the name in 2025, almost 2,000 more than the second most popular name, Noah. They have been the top two since 2023. The gap was previously 1,580.
This year, Leo and Luca rose to third and fourth respectively, overtaking Arthur, Oliver and George.
Two variants of Muhammad also made the top 100, with Mohammed at 20 and Mohammad at 55, accounting for another 2,600 babies. The Office for National Statistics, which compiles the data, does not combine spellings.
Olivia remained the most popular girls’ name, followed by Lily, Amelia, Isla and Florence.
Muhammad has been in the top 10 since 2016, and in the top 100 since 1997, when it first entered.
Three spellings of the name were also in the top 100 in 1954, while the spelling Mohammed first entered the top 100 boys' names for England and Wales at 91st place in 1924.
The different spellings represent different transliterations of the name Muhammad from Arabic into different alphabets and different dialects – Mohammed tends to come from the Middle East, whereas Muhammad tends to come from Pakistan, which is the more prevalent Muslim community in Britain.
The ONS has noted that many other top-10 boys’ and girls’ names have non-British origins, including Freya (Scandinavia), Leo, Luca and Isabella (Italy), and Noah (Hebrew).
It has previously said the dominance of the name Muhammad was due to a number of factors, including the growth of the Muslim community. Britain's Muslim population stands at nearly four million, or about 6 per cent of the UK as a whole.

You can’t beat a birthrate.
England is doomed.
Are any of the Muhammads ‘trans’?
The English and their odd names.
For example “Muhammad Wesley Wyndam-Pryce III”
I grew up in an American mill town. Many of the older folks were immigrants from Eastern Europe. And they all had Eastern European first names, though they rarely used them.
Now here’s the interesting thing. They kept their religion. But their children and grandchildren all had Americanized first names. No Béla, no Zuzanna, etc.
There is of one exception to that general rule. It’s with the Muslims, of course. And that’s because they come to conquer, not to assimilate.
🙁
The UK is doomed. The invaders are there and they’re breeding, and it’s all paid for by the people they’re replacing.
just a bunch of Clones or parents with no imagination or freedom to use another name
Easy to do especially if the government is paying for it.
We are seeing some of this here in USA as well.
Britain’s Muslim population is about 6%. Once a great civilization. Amazing how 6% uncivilized barbarians can forever alter a civilization. An evil, anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective.
> just a bunch of Clones… <
It’s actually worse than that.
Children of Muslim immigrants are, in general, more radical than their parents. Many studies have shown that.
Here’s one such study. It’s out of the UK:

“… the dominance of the name Muhammad was due to a number of factors, including the growth of the Muslim community.”
Hmmmmm……. I thought it was all those Church of England and Methodist parents naming their kids Mohammad.
It was nice knowing you England. Very sad isn’t it?
All paki sons are named mohammad
I did payroll for a paki business
Every male was mohammad
What about MooHamHead?
They need to rename the country to something more descriptive of its people.
The blokes have gone full Muzzie or someone else is the real father.
Meanwhile, Juan is probably the most common US male birth name these days.
Yep MoeHamhaters breed like rabbits, its part of the their long game for Conquest.
Wake up ya Limeys
