Source methodology

RENAPER identity-registration records for births registered in 2021. The publisher's national Total pais series lists the 20 most frequent given names per category; each given name in a compound name is counted separately and accents are stripped by the publisher. All-uppercase source spellings are deterministically converted to Unicode title case. Sequential rank is derived from the exact published national counts in descending order; the published top 20 per category is the publisher's full national depth.

What are the most popular baby names in Argentina?

Isabella is the number-one girl name and Benjamin is the number-one boy name in the reviewed 2021 release.

What area does this list cover?

How complete is the page?

The page includes every reviewed row through rank 20 for both categories: 20 girl names and 20 boy names. Counts are retained from the source; display-casing normalization is documented in the methodology.
