Greenlandic Statistics Population 2021

Overview of the most common names in the population of Greenland as of 2021

Names are included into this evaluation if they occur at least 30 times in the population of Greenland. Names listed as new have been used less than 25 times in 2011 and have become at least slightly more common since then.

This overview is for the complete population, i.e. not for the newborn children of the year. For a list of the recent years, see Greenlandic Statistics of 2012-2020. With an overall trend towards traditional Greenlandic names, many names listed in the Top Ten of the full population are not very frequent among newborn children.
