Most common first names in Norway, 2025 (children named that year)
Children named in Norway in 2025, from Statistics Norway (SSB), the national statistics office, out of the national population register. From 2021 a year counts the children named that year; before 2021 a year counts everyone born that year who has held a national ID number, emigrants left out. No year is a count of births.
People who have or have had a Norwegian ID number, emigrants left out (Statistics Norway, release of January 2026): by year of birth for 1945–2020 (everyone born that year who was ever registered in Norway, the since-deceased included) and by year of naming from 2021; first names carried by 200 or more living people only, counts under 4 withheld, SSB’s spelling groups. The shares are SSB’s own, of the people of that sex and year in that count; the 2025 list counts the children named that year, and no year here is a count of births.

Registries that publish names in capitals are shown in title case; counts are the registry’s own. Where a registry counts each spelling separately, its leading spelling stands for the name across records (Ireland’s Rían stands for Rian); the other spellings keep their own rows and their own counts, and are never added together.
