The most common given names in Germany 1890 - 2005

In the absence of official statistics about given names in Germany, this list is based on "top lists" collected by a commercial website from birth clinics and registry offices around Germany. First and second given names are counted, additional given names ignored. The list below includes all names in the top 40 during any decade , with a record of the decades when they were among the top 40 names. "2000s" refers to the years 2000-20005 only, other decades include all the years (e.g. 1900s = 1900 - 1909 ).

Names in bold were among the top five names during at least one decade.
*Names with an asterisk were recorded in more than one spelling.
