Charlotte Dethrones Olivia as Canada's Top Baby Name for 2025 — See the Full List
Charlotte took the top girls’ name spot with 1,502 births, while Noah led boys for a fifth straight year, Statistics Canada said.
- Charlotte became the most popular baby girl name in Canada in 2025, ending Olivia's nine-year reign with 1,502 births compared to 1,445, according to Statistics Canada.
- A narrow margin of just 57 babies separated the top two names; Charlotte, meaning 'free man' or 'army,' has long been associated with nobility and royalty.
- Noah remained Canada's most popular boy's name for the fifth consecutive year, while Nora entered the top 10 for the first time, displacing Ava from the rankings.
- Demographic shifts coincide with these naming trends, as the average age of mothers at childbirth reached a record 31.9 years in 2025, up from 26.7 in 1976.
- Canada's total fertility rate hit 1.26 children per woman in 2025, tied for the lowest ever recorded, as the country faces a long-term decline in fertility shared by other nations.
