In 2024, Lot’s parents were influenced by two Spanish series (still available on Netflix)

The start of the year is always an opportunity to take stock. This is what several municipalities in France are doing which, relying on data from the Civil Registry which closed its registers on December 31 for the year which has just passed, were thus able to establish the list of the first names most given by new parents in 2024. And after the eccentrics of Nevers, it’s time for the movie buffs of the Lot.

This first name inspired by TV series created a surprise in the Lot

We always find rather classic first names in the lists, because in the spirit of the times: Louis, Maël, Léo, Alma, Anna, Nina, Louise, Jade and Rose remain rather well positioned in the hearts and choices of parents, this year again. But one first name particularly created a surprise in 2024. While it was not in the top 10 of the most given first names in the department last year, it takes first place, with nine births recorded: it This is the first name Alba. On the national side, this first name remains very well placed, since it is the 3rd most given female first name in France and the first in the southern Occitanie zone. This new place in the hearts of the Lotois therefore remains rather coherent. But why this meteoric rise? For Civil Status, it could be explained by the influence of television series. It is therefore possible that the actresses Alba Flores and Alba Romero, who we discovered in the Spanish series La Casa de Papel and Les Demoiselles du Telephone, very trendy at one time, had something to do with it, as LaDepeche notes. fr. Alba takes its etymology from the Latin “Albus”, which means “White”.

These first names have not been rejected by the Civil Status

The director of Civil and Citizen Life at Cahors town hall Marc Fournet told the newspaper that no first names had been rejected by the Civil Registry this year, but that some, nevertheless, had questioned him. Among these, we note the first names Emerance, Damarys, Jazzallya or even Kis-my for little girls, and even Light-Naël for a little boy.
