The name Yahya is also among the most popular names in Britain.

We previously reported that the name Muhammad is among the most popular names in England and Wales.

Yesterday, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) announced that the name Yahya had also entered the top 100 names for newborn babies in Britain for the first time, at 93rd place.

In 2024, 583 children were named Yahya - an increase of 33 places compared to 2023.

Analysts believe that the rise in popularity of the name Yahya is due to the strengthening of religious identity and increasing cultural influences. Some social media users attribute this trend to the heroic martyrdom of Yahya Sinwar, one of the leaders of the Palestinian resistance movement.
