How popular is the name Hermione?
Births per year, rank history and how many Hermiones are alive today.
Hermione (female) is a rare girls' name in England and Wales, ranked 1133rd in 2025 and given to 29 babies. The name peaked in 2004, when 162 babies were given the name, the 265th most popular that year. It has declined since 2004; the 2025 figure is roughly 18% of its peak.
The Hermione you are most likely to meet is around 22 years old. Half of all Hermiones born in England and Wales are between 11 and 22, and there are at least 2,500 of them alive today. If you walk into a room of 100 females, there's less than a 1% chance that anyone will be called Hermione - on average, only one in every 126 such rooms contains a Hermione.

Where this data comes from
Figures from 1996 onwards are the Office for National Statistics' annual baby-name registrations for England and Wales, which record every name given to three or more babies in a year. Figures before 1996 are estimates: the ONS published only top-100 rankings at ten-year intervals back to 1904, so counts for those years are modelled from the rankings, calibrated against Douglas Galbi's long-run research into English name frequencies, and shown with an uncertainty band. Estimates of living bearers combine these birth figures with national life tables and ONS mid-year population estimates.
One limit worth naming: these figures count names as registered at birth. Anyone who changes their name later in life - including trans people, and anyone who adopts a different name by deed poll or simply by use - is not reflected here. Birth registrations record where a name began, not the name a person lives with.
