Ofc Mohammed is the most common name but thats a name common within the muslim community. I have noticed the name Sarah in every country, regardless of race or religion. Or it might be an abrahamic religion thing but thats most of the world atleast.

I suspect other Abrahamic names might make the cut.

    OP is kind of asking which names are common in the largest variety of places. Is there a name that’s kinda- common on every continent?

      Okay, I think I understand now. Looking at the names for Africa, Americas, Europe and Oceania, the names David and Maria seem to consistently be in the top 20. I’m intentionally excluding Asia, because their names seem to be wildly different compared to everywhere else.

      Does this answer the question better?

        yeah, you got it. obviously, since we’re trying to balance multiple different factors, it’s not necessarily a “correct” response, but it addresses the question directly and well.
