What's moving
Three currents are shaping the boys' chart. The Euro-classic wave keeps rolling — Luca at №4, Enzo up another 8 places to №84 (he's climbed 228 since 2015), and Ruben newly arrived at №100; our Italian and French lists are full of the same energy. The vintage revival gave Arthur a top-five seat and pulled Vincent (№93) and Stanley (№97) back into the 100 — see vintage boy names for the wider seam. And nickname-first names keep charting on their own: Vinnie jumped 33 places to №58, with Ronnie up 10 — the thinking behind our nickname guide in live data. Arabic names keep strengthening too: Yahya up 12, Musa up 9 — browse our hand-picked Muslim boy names. Falling: the American surname wave — Jaxon (−22), Mason (−14), Hunter and Logan — is receding on this side of the Atlantic.
