Muhammad 2nd most popular baby boy name in Netherlands in 2022
ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (AA) – The second most popular name for boys in the Netherlands in 2022 was Muhammad, according to new figures.
According to data released by the Dutch Social Insurance Bank (SVB) on Thursday, the top name for newborn boys in the country last year was also based in faith – Noah, with 871 – while Emma was the top girl’s name with 677.
Combining the various spellings of the name, Muhammad took second place among the names given to baby boys with 671.
This is an interesting observation in a country where anti-Muslim prejudice, racism, bigotry and Islamophobia are on the rise.
