The Most Popular Baby Names in Switzerland 2025: Noah and Sofia
The Federal Statistical Office has published the most popular first names for 2025, with Noah and Sofia topping the list.

The Federal Statistical Office has announced the ranking of first names for newborns in 2025. In this list, Noah and Sofia are recorded as the most popular baby names in Switzerland. Noah leads the statistics for boys, while Sofia tops the ranking for girls.
According to the published data, Sofia has reached the top of the girls' names for the first time, followed by Emma and Mia. Noah maintains his first place among boys, ahead of Liam and Gabriel, who take the second and third spots.
The popularity of these names indicates that many Swiss parents adopt a conservative approach to naming their children. Both Noah and Sofia have been among the top ranks for several years now.

The study also notes changes among other names: Linda and Milan have lost popularity and have fallen out of the upper ranks.
The data from the Federal Statistical Office provides insights into the preferences of the Swiss population, which remain consistent in terms of first names year after year. The ongoing renewal or persistence of names reflects societal trends.
Overall, it can be observed that Noah is at the top for the twelfth time and Sofia for the first time. The ranking thus reflects the current preferences of parents.
