Popular Boy Names in Puerto Rico

In Puerto Rico, Noah leads the 2025 boys’ list with 268 babies, followed by Liam at 249 and Thiago at 237.

Mateo is next among the leaders with 144 babies, while Sebastian and Lucas keep familiar classics near the top. The list also makes room for short, punchy choices and surname-style favorites, giving the upper ranks a mix of steady staples and modern-feeling picks.

Emilio made the biggest leap, gaining 191 places to No. 79 with 19 babies. Johan rose 145 spots to No. 83, and Neithan climbed 116 to No. 67, showing that parents are willing to reach beyond the familiar leaders.

At the other end, Leonardo, Dariel and Nathan posted the steepest declines. Even with those shifts, the headline is stability at the very top: Noah, Liam and Thiago remain the names to beat in Puerto Rico this year.
