Muhammad as a top baby name in the U.K.

In England and Wales, official baby-name statistics from recent years show that Muhammad (in its various spellings) has been a leading choice among baby boys. For example, in 2024 Muhammad was among the top names recorded by the Office for National Statistics, and other spellings like Mohammed and Mohammad also ranked within the top baby-name lists — underscoring the name’s widespread use among UK newborns. 

Muhammad in New York City

New York City’s Department of Health released a list of the most popular names for babies born in 2024 (released late 2025), showing Muhammad entering the top 10 for boys’ names (tied for 10th place) alongside other widely used names such as Noah and Liam. 

Combined reporting on 2025 popularity

Reports emerging in late December 2025 state that Muhammad became one of the most commonly used baby names in both the United Kingdom and New York City in 2025 (based on recent name-registration data), reflecting its strong and growing popularity in diverse communities.
