Most popular English boy names (in England!)

English names are all over the world. Yet, the best place to find English names for boys? England, of course. The home of the Queen, afternoon tea, and those big red buses.

Here are the most popular English baby boy names as of 2019. What are the top boy names for 2020? The Office of National Statistics, the body in England in charge of these things, hasn't gotten round to releasing those yet.

1. Oliver. A name that's been the most popular in England and Wales for years. It actually means 'olive tree planter', yet it does make for a beautiful English male name.
2. George. Could you get more English? George comes from the Greek word for 'farmer', actually, but it is a long favorite in the UK.
3. Noah. He's made a big comeback in recent years. Of course, it's a name that originates in the Bible – so it isn't strictly English.
4. Arthur. An English male name that traces its roots to the fabled king. It has a real nobility to it.
5. Harry. From an ancient king to perhaps the world's most famous prince. A beautiful name – and oh so British.
6. Leo. From the Latin word for 'lion', Leo has become one of the coolest English names in recent years.
7. Muhammad. Muhammad means 'praised'. Another name that has become much more popular in England recently.
8. Jack. Like George, it's a real classic of English names.
9. Charlie. Another perennial fave, Charlie comes from the German word meaning 'free man.' Perhaps your little one will have an independent streak when he 1. grows up?
10. Oscar. A name of Irish origin, Oscar means 'deer friend'. These days, it has a very classy ring to it.
    Nope, they're not all traditionally English, but traditions change! That's one of the beautiful things about names. Whether they're traditionally Korean baby names or Latin baby names, if it's right for your little one, why not?
    In the meantime, here are some other English male names.

13 Old English names

Perhaps you're looking for something a little more classic. If that's you, some ancient English names might be exactly what you need.

Here are 13 Old English names of Anglo-Saxon origin:

101. Aethelred. One of the great kings of Wessex. For some bonus names: his dad was Aethelwulf and his brother Aethelbert, while his sons were known as Aethelwold and Aethelhelm. Very Ye Olde English, but it does give you some more options to mull over.
102. Cenric. It's the old form of Kendrick, meaning something like 'bold ruler'. You don't get a more classic English name.
103. Cuthbert. Meaning 'brilliant', 'bright', or 'famous', Cuthbert had a resurgence in the 19th century. It's not so common today, but perhaps it should be.
104. Cynebald. Another ancient English name, it means 'royal' and 'bold'.
105. Dunstan. It means, simply, 'stony hill', but it has an elegant ring to it.
106. Edgar. It's fallen out of use a little, but we think it's really got something!
107. Edmund. Edmund means 'prosperity' or 'protector'. A great alternative to Edward.
108. Godric. 'Good ruler', a noble name straight out of the Middle Ages.
109. Godwin. This has the lovely meaning: 'good friend'.
110. Osmund. Of Scandinavian root, a noble name combining the words for 'god' and 'protection'.
111. Oswald. More of a surname these days, it means 'divine power'. Like the other Old English names, it has a real strength to it.
112. Wulfric. If nature names like Wolf and Bear aren't your thing, you can go for a more classic English name: Wulfric.
113. Wynnstan or Wynstan. It means 'joy stone' – and is actually an alternative spelling for Winston.
