French Baby Names
66 names, 16 with a documented meaning.
About this list
By gender: 15 for boys only, 51 for girls only. 24% of the names in French Baby Names have a documented meaning. The rest are listed without one, because our data has nothing usable to show for them yet.
66 names are in the 2024 US Social Security file. Best ranked: Charlotte (#4, girls), Josephine (#56, girls), Eloise (#64, girls), Madelyn (#65, girls), Claire (#67, girls).
Counts are distinct names; a name recorded for both genders counts once. A documented meaning is a real gloss in our data, not an import placeholder. Origin is the label recorded in the dataset: "English", "Muslim" and "Quranic" are collection labels, not languages, so they are counted as no language label. Source: U.S. Social Security Administration, Popular Baby Names (national data, 1880-2024). Counts are Social Security card applications for births in the United States; names with fewer than 5 births in a year are not listed, and spelling variants are counted separately.
