Choosing a name is one of the most complicated and at the same time exciting decisions for mothers and fathers awaiting the arrival of their baby. There are many factors to take into account. There are those who want it to have a meaning that denotes a strong personality, those who want it to be international and recognizable in several languages, and those who prefer it to be short and easy to write.
Antonio and María Carmen were the most common names in Spain in 2023
However, traditional names are still the most common in Spain. In 2023, INE data reflected that Antonio and María Carmen occupied the first place on the podium, with a total of 630,253 women with that name and 614,853 men. In the top five of the most common, they were followed by María, Carmen, Ana María and Laura and, in men, Manuel, José, Francisco and David. Although none of them have been the most popular among the newborns of 2024, something that shows that names vary over the years. That is why it is not surprising that from time to time they appear again on the class lists in the youngest schools.
