California's trendiest baby names in 2024
Lots of little Anahis, Ximenas, Adans and Emilianos are coming to a kindergarten near you.
The latest: The Social Security Administration recently dropped its list of the most popular baby names in 2024.
Liam was the top boy name in California, with 2,716 newborns given the name.
Mia earned the No. 1 spot for girls, accounting for 1,986 babies, after briefly losing the crown to Olivia last year.
The intrigue: The most distinctively California names — more common here than nationally — all have Latin roots or Spanish origins.
