About the name Africa

Africa reached its peak in 2009, when 5 girls were registered in England & Wales — ranked #3,936 for UK girls that year. Since then, registrations have dropped below the ONS reporting threshold of three babies per year.
Across 7 years of ONS data since 1996, a total of 27 girls have been officially registered with the name Africa in England & Wales. In the past decade alone (2014–2024), 7 girls were registered with the name.
