Births per year, rank history and how many Anands are alive today.
Anand (male) is a rare boys' name in England and Wales, ranked 2952nd in 2025 and given to 7 babies. The name peaked in 1998, when 19 babies were given the name, the 813th most popular that year. It has declined since 1998; the 2025 figure is roughly 37% of its peak.
The Anand you are most likely to meet is around 31 years old - or else around 18: the name has two living generations. Half of all Anands born in England and Wales are between 15 and 32, and there are at least 410 of them alive today. If you walk into a room of 100 males, there's less than a 1% chance that anyone will be called Anand - on average, only one in every 740 such rooms contains a Anand.

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.
