The United Kingdom’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) recently revealed that "Muhammad" has become the most popular name in England and Wales among newborn baby boys.

The ONS declared in a new data report on Thursday that the name – most prominently associated with Islam’s founder and most prominent figure, the Prophet Muhammad – finally claimed the top spot in 2023 and onward.

"Muhammad has overtaken Noah as the top name for baby boys in England and Wales, followed by Noah and Oliver," the report stated.

It added, "Muhammad was the second most popular name in 2022 and has been in the top 10 most popular names for baby boys in England and Wales since 2016."

The data revealed that 4,661 baby boys were given the name in 2023, just beating out the 4,382 boys named Noah that year. Oliver was third, with 3,556 babies given the name, followed by George, Leo, and Arthur.

In 2022, Oliver reigned supreme, with 4,586 infant males receiving the name, while Muhammad was second, being the name of 4,177 baby boys. George was in third place this year, while Oliver was actually fourth.

The ONS report also provided a map revealing that Muhammad was the most popular name among baby boys around the Manchester and Liverpool areas.

A spokesperson for the office spoke to Middle East news outlet The National, noting that the popularity of the name is clearly due to religious significance and the increasing Muslim population in the two countries – which has more than doubled since 2001.

As the outlet reported, ONS "has previously said the name's dominance was due to a number of factors, including the increasing size of the Muslim community, which rose from 1.5 million in 2001, to 2.7 million people in 2011 and to 3.9 million in 2021."

However, the spokesperson added that the increase in the name also "coincides with increasing diversity in names for baby boys generally," The National wrote. The office also mentioned that the name might be becoming more popular among the Muslim community itself, as many become more inclined to honor their heritage while living in a non-Muslim country.

According to census data among European countries compiled by Euronews in 2023, Muhammad – or other iterations of the name (in this case "Mohammed" – was ranked the fourth most common boy's name across the entire continent, with Lucas, Alexander, and Oliver in the top three spots respectively.

lol

It happened in Turkey… now it’s happening in The UK before our eyes.

Hahahaha , I laughed because the conquest of England seems inevitable due to the growing Muslim population there. I attribute this to the 'wokeness' of modern England. Some might label my views as hateful, but I believe a prudent nation prioritizing its citizens well being and progress would exercise caution when allowing large scale Muslim immigration.

History suggests that when a minority group outnumber the native population, respect for the indigenous culture often dwindles, and conquest may become a strategic objective and this has always been the motives of Muslims.

England please be careful, Muslims are not to be trusted, their sting is worse than venomous scorpion or puff adder sting.

Damn!

They better check themself before they wreck themself..

Britains is home to Muslims.
Those their percentage is still small compared to 42% that identify as Christians.
So I'm surprised with Muslim name been the most popular

Their rate of reproduction is outstanding.

The only thing they know to do is to conquer the "infidels."

Oga rest why is the Christian God so weak when it concerns the defending of his church?


I'm a Christian I think of this everyday. A time will come the whole world will be destroyed by Islam and it's coming near.


If you know the sacrifices of the apostles in the middle east , how they preached and shared their blood to make sure Christ reaches the middle then after 600 years Islam came and destroy those sacrifices the apostles made.

Irag, Syria, Lebanon, turkey(formerly called Constantinople) was once all Christian nations, Islam came and sweep all away, killed almost all Christians for over 300 years. Jesus did nothing.


Same thing happening in Africa right now, I'm a Christian somethings I hate the teachings of weakness of Christianity. We're made to be seen as sheep without defense, this is what Islam used to fight Christians.


Enough of the teaching of slapping me and turning the other check, it makes Christians so weak. Today the European are weak because their strong men and rulers who where once Christians are now atheist.


Christianity is too weak something must be done or in next 100 years there won't be any Christian strong community in the world

I'm no Christian.
So your narrative should be directed to Christians...

I'm a Christian and it should be so. Do me I do you.

That's why the Muslims are so afraid of the Jews and idol worshipers.


Muslims are always against Christians, you hardly see them waging wars against ido worshipers or Jews because they know they'll lose.


Wake up Christians, stop being sheeps to Muslims, middle east is gone, now Europe is almost gone.

What's keeping Jesus waiting? For over 2000 years the church you built with your blood is being destroyed by Islam and you're not doing anything anything about it. It's terrible

This gives an insight.

To a proper Muslim, it is Islam first before the "conventional culture" or ethnicity. To a Christian, it is ethnicity, nationality, and culture before Christianity. Christians may not it this fact, but that's the reality. Check the percentage of people who often oppose religion-based names, it's often the Christians who believe their culture comes first before any religion.

In Islam, religion is interwoven with culture. So, you'll often find a Nigerian Muslim, an Indonesian Muslim, and a Togolese Muslim prioritising the same name for their kids - Muhammad. Nationality is secondary.

Muslims from all over the world will come into your country and, while you're busy fighting their religion (mosques), they are actually taking over your culture and nationality. Islam is not just a religion but a culture.

Christians count their spread by the number of Churches they build. Hehehe. Muslims will build only one mosque in a city and still have more population than Christians and their 1,000 worship centres. That's what culture can do. It is a way of life. They carry their religion everywhere. It will show in their names and even in their manner of dressing, something modern Christians - who want to worship Jesus and still do onlyfans - can't do.

Note the bolded. It is not about weakness but a programme of God in prophecy. Islam destroys everything in every place it goes.

Isaiah 60:1- 2.

Islam is the darkness that will cover the earth. It will definitely do.

A welcoming news. I have said and I will continue to say it... If you are a Nigerian living in the UK, go and enroll your kids to any Arabic class before it is too late. Your children might need Arabic knowledge to stay in the UK in few decades to come.

Alhamdulilah, is the next. Let the Europe keep ing the US in invading the Muslim countries, your countries will surely pay for it.

They brought it upon themselves .... they need a Trukp type of person to contest for PM....that person will win in a landslide

Now that's how you colonize your colonialists.
Mass Immigration. Africans dey learn work where arabs dey.

Hit your head on a rock madam.

Your issue is Muslim, do you know how many Indians or Chinese immigrate to the west? I bet you do not know the number exceeds that of Muslim but Muslims immigrants are your problem

England is careless. Soon they will loose their land to Muhammadans
