About this list
51% of the names in Boy Names That Start With O have a documented meaning. The rest are listed without one, because our data has nothing usable to show for them yet.
By recorded origin: Arabic 6, Germanic 3, Hebrew 3, Irish 3, Turkish 3, other 8. 51 names carry no language label.
52 names are in the 2024 US Social Security file. Best ranked: Oliver (#3, boys), Owen (#26, boys), Oscar (#217, boys), Omar (#260, boys), Otto (#274, boys).
Counts are distinct names; a name recorded for both genders counts once. A documented meaning is a real gloss in our data, not an import placeholder. Origin is the label recorded in the dataset: "English", "Muslim" and "Quranic" are collection labels, not languages, so they are counted as no language label. Source: U.S. Social Security Administration, Popular Baby Names (national data, 1880-2024). Counts are Social Security card applications for births in the United States; names with fewer than 5 births in a year are not listed, and spelling variants are counted separately.
