TOP5 4785 Royaume Uni le nom Khan pourrait detroner Smith chez les nouveau nes des 2027

The surname Khan could become the most popular given to newborns in England and Wales as early as 2027, surpassing the traditional Smith, according to data from the UK's Office for National Statistics. In 2025, 4,102 babies were named Smith, compared to 3,772 for Khan. This trend is partly attributed to immigration from South Asia and a decline in the birth rate among women born in the UK. Over the past thirty years, traditionally British surnames have fallen in the rankings, reflecting the increasing diversity of British society.
