These Are the Most Popular Baby Names in Every State, Birth Records Reveal

The Social Security Administration released on Friday the most popular baby names in the U.S. For babies born in 2024, showing Liam and Olivia topping the list again.
The release follows a slight increase in births to 3.61 million in 2024 from 3.59 million last year, marking a continued rise in the American birthrate.
Liam has led the boys' names for eight consecutive years while Olivia has led the girls' names for six years, with Noah and Emma holding second place respectively for six years.
Influences from online personalities and trending TV programs have contributed to the increased popularity of certain names, including Ailany, a Hawaiian name meaning 'chief' for girls, and Truce, an Old English boys' name meaning 'peace,' which surged 11,118 places to reach rank 991.
Experts note American parents increasingly select heritage names with cross-cultural appeal to help children travel easily, reflecting changing cultural diversity and naming trends.
