Emilia and Mateo (or Matheo) kept their crown as the most popular baby names in Brandenburg in 2024, according to the German Language Society (GfdS) in Wiesbaden. The society considered various spellings as well.

In 2023, Emilia and Mateo ranked first in Brandenburg as well. In Berlin, Sophia and Mohammad were the most popular baby names for two consecutive years, 2023 and 2024. Mohammad has been on top of the list for six years running. Nationwide, Sophia and Noah continued to top the rankings in 2024.

Since 1977, the German Language Society has published an overview of baby names. They collect data from approximately 750 local registration offices that submitted nearly 900,000 name registrations in total. This means that nearly 92% of all first names given in Germany in 2024 were recorded, as the society reported.
