Top 100 Most Common First Names in the World

Friday, August 21, 2026

A past Centumth puzzle. Play it on this page with five guesses, or read the full Top 100 ranking below.

Hello, my name is… Ranked by global given-name frequency estimates from Forebears (large name databases + national registries). Different spellings count separately — e.g. Mohammed, Muhammad, and Mohamed are all on the list.

This list was researched and ranked by hand for Centumth. Entries near #1 are the names almost everyone thinks of first. Entries near #100 are true, a little obscure, and still fair if you think sideways. Sources below are the starting point — the final order can include small editorial calls so the daily puzzle stays balanced.

You can play this archive puzzle with five guesses, or reveal the complete ranking if you came here looking for the list. Revealing locks this puzzle — you won’t be able to play it afterward.
