The U.S. Social Security Administration's list of most popular baby names in 2025 reveals that Olivia and Liam remain at the top. However, Eliana, a Hebrew name meaning “my God has answered,” has entered the top 10. Eliana climbed from 18th to 10th place in a year. Colleen Slagen, a baby name consultant, notes that names starting with “El” are trending. She suggests the sound lends itself to popular nicknames like Ella and Ellie. Jenn Fica also contributes to the discussion.
