Top Baby Names in Norway 2022

The most popular baby names in Norway for 2022 are Nora and Jakob.

Along with Nora, other top girl names in Norway include Emma, Olivia, Ella, and Sofie. Along with Jakob, other popular names for boys in Norway include Noah, Emil, Lucas, and Oliver.

Norway's name rankings combine spellings for names that sound the same. So, for example, Jakob also includes boys named Jacob, and Nora also includes girls named Norah.

The letter C was not introduced into the Norwegian alphabet until later, so relatively few names in Norway’s Top 50 include it — only Lucas. Instead, many names in which you’d traditionally see a C are spelled with a K instead, such as Isak, Oskar, and Kasper.

Popular Scandinavian names in Norway include Ingrid, Hedda, and Tuva for girls, and Olav, Gustav, and Håkon for boys. Other Norwegian names with crossover potential include Linnea, Sigrid, Emil, and Iver.
