Old names continue to be popular with young parents. Adèle is a first name meaning “nobility” while Louis comes from the old Germanic first name “Hlodowig”, composed of the elements “Hlod” and “wig” which mean “glory” and “fight”.
On the other hand, compound ones seem less attractive, being preferred to short first names.
In the top 3 of the first names most given to girls in 2024, we find “Amber” and “Lou” in second position. For boys, they are “Gabin” and “Noé”.
As a reminder, in 2023, among little girls, the first names “Alba” and “Louise” topped the rankings while “Marius,” “Léo” and “Gabin” won the votes among boys.
