Portuguese is an incredibly beautiful language and so are Portuguese names. It therefore comes as no surprise that many parents seek inspiration for boy names and girl names from Portugal.
The most popular Portuguese names for newborn girls right now are Maria and Leonor and for boys Francisco and João. Maria has for a long time been one of the most popular girl names. No other name comes close to competing with this name – it has even topped the boy’s name list.
In Portugal, the freedom to choose a name is somewhat limited. When parents are to register a child, a name must be chosen that is included in the civil register of permitted names. In Portugal, the first name must not create doubt about the gender of a person. Only foreign citizens or citizens with dual citizenship can choose names outside the list of names allowed in Portugal. However, an approval is still required.
