These are the most popular baby names in Pennsylvania in 2024
Noah and Olivia were the most popular baby names in Pennsylvania in 2024, the Social Security Administration announced.
On Thursday, the agency announced the 100 most popular names for male and female births last year in the Keystone State.
Charlotte, Emma, Sophia and Amelia rounded out the top 5 for girls. Liam, Oliver, Theodore and Henry completed the top 5 for boys. The names may look familiar, as both nearly mirror the most popular baby names in America for 2024.
In Pennsylvania, names rising in popularity for boys were Santiago and William. For girls, Sofia was the 50th-most popular name in 2023 before rising to No. 7 in 2024.

The Social Security Administration's list tracks the thousands of names given to babies born each year. When a child is born, parents supply the name to the Social Security Administration when applying for a child's Social Security card.
