Wiesbaden (dpa / th) - Hanna and Matteo were the most popular first names for newborns in Thuringia last year.

This emerges from a survey that the Society for the German Language (GfdS) from Wiesbaden presented on Monday.

In the girls' category, Frieda came second and Emma came third.

The second most popular baby name among boys went to Henry, followed by Paul.

The GfdS relies on data from more than 700 registry offices with almost a million name entries transmitted.

"This recorded almost 90 percent of all names given in Germany in 2020," declared the Society for the German Language.
