How popular is the name Moshe?
Births per year, rank history and how many Moshes are alive today.
Moshe (male) is an uncommon boys' name in England and Wales, ranked 687th in 2025 with 52 babies given the name. It has risen strongly over the past decade. Moshe is also a common short form of Moses, so many people called Moshe are registered under the longer name.
The Moshe you are most likely to meet is around 2 years old. Half of all Moshes born in England and Wales are between 7 and 22, and there are at least 960 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 Moshe - on average, only one in every 316 such rooms contains a Moshe.

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.
