About the Name Elizabeth
Elizabeth ranked #74 in 2025, down from its peak of #26 in 1996 — still a familiar name, but past its high point. The name has been a consistent presence in UK records since 1996. It has spent 30 of the last 30 years inside the UK top 100 — a mark of enduring mainstream appeal.
Elizabeth is a very popular name in the UK — yet a class of 28 is small enough that your child will very likely be the only Elizabeth on the register.
In the US it ranks even higher at #17, where it enjoys a particularly strong following.
