The newly unveiled list, compiled by the Office for National Statistics, is based on birth data from the 2025 calendar year.
Muhammad has ranked among the top 10 boys' names in England and Wales every year since 2016.
Muhammad, given to 5,957 newborn boys, topped the list, up 4% from 2024. Noah ranked second with 4,075, followed by Leo, Luca, and Arthur.
Alternate spellings of the top boy name also fared well, with Mohammed in 20th place and Mohammad in 55th place, increasing the count by an additional 2,600.
The ONS additionally provided a month-by-month breakdown, which revealed that for every month of 2025, Muhammad claimed first and Noah second.
Muhammad has ranked among the top 10 boys’ names in England and Wales every year since 2016 and among the top 100 since 1997.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
