Olivia and Liam Remain the Most Popular Baby Names in the US for 2022

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has released its official list of the most popular baby names of 2022. The list is based on the names that parents in the U.S. gave their babies born in the previous year. The rankings usually don’t change very much from year to year, but there were still some interesting shifts between 2021 and 2022.

For the fourth straight year, the No. 1 name for girls is Olivia, which has topped the list since overtaking Emma in 2019. Luna has crept in at number 10, pushing out Harper, which had been at number 10 in 2021.

Meanwhile, Liam is still the most popular name for boys for the sixth year in a row. Other popular names for boys include Noah, William, Elijah, Oliver, and Benjamin.

Names are shaped by society and history, and the SSA has been releasing lists of the top U.S. baby names since 1997. The popularity of certain names can be influenced by popular culture, such as celebrities, movies, and books.

The SSA list is a great way to get an idea of what names are popular in the U.S. right now. It’s also interesting to see how names have changed over the years and how they are shaped by society and history.
