PNN – The latest report of the British Office of National Statistics shows that “Muhammad” is at the top of the most popular names for baby boys in this country.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, “Mohammed” was among the 10 most popular names for baby boys in England since 2016, but now it has overtaken the name “Noah” and is at the top of the popular baby boy names. In this way, “Noah” is in the second place and “Oliver” is in the third place in the list of popular baby boy names in England.
The name “Muhammad” in English is written in various forms such as Mohammad and Muhammad and has been in the list of top 100 English names in recent years. But this is the first time that Muhammad has reached the top of the list of popular names in England.
According to the latest report of the British National Statistics Center, 4,661 babies will be named Muhammad in 2023, which is an increase of 484 from the previous year.
This is while Islam is the second largest religion in England after Christianity. According to the British National Bureau of Statistics, a total of 3.9 Muslims live in this country, which constitutes 4.9 percent of the island’s population.
Hojjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimeen, Seyyed Hashem Mousavi, Imam of the Islamic Center of England, said earlier in an interview with reporter in London: Islam is the second largest monotheistic religion and the fastest growing among the Abrahamic religions in Britain.
He added that according to the predictions made, the population of Muslims in Britain will be more than 13 million people in 2050, and the tendency of the British people towards Islam will be a function of the presence of a large population of Muslims among non-Muslims.
