Alberta parents welcomed more than 52,000 babies in 2025, and when it came to naming them, many stuck with the classics.

Noah claimed the top spot for boys for the seventh consecutive year, while Olivia dominated the girls' list for an impressive 13th year in a row. Olivia's streak now stands as the longest-running top name in Alberta's history, surpassing Ethan's nine-year run from 2001 to 2009 and Liam's seven-year reign from 2010 to 2016.

Amelia, Emma, and Sophia tied for the top five girls' names, along with Charlotte and Violet. For boys, Theodore, Oliver, Henry, Jack, and Lucas rounded out the top five. Theodore made a notable jump from fourth to second place, marking its highest ranking ever, while Liam dropped from third to seventh.

Parents chose over 14,500 unique names in total, with some drawing inspiration from pop culture figures like Khaleesi, Zendaya, and Beckham. Others looked to Greek mythology with names like Artemis and Zephyr, while nature-inspired choices included Azalea, Magnolia, and Sparrow. Some parents nodded to Alberta's heritage with names like Jasper and Rose, the province's official floral emblem.

Dale Nally, minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction, said the province is proud to welcome the youngest members of Alberta's family and will continue working to make Alberta a place where they can succeed.
