Births per year, rank history and how many Suryas are alive today.
Surya (male) is a rare boys' name in England and Wales, ranked 4275th in 2025 and given to 4 babies. The name peaked in 2024, when 12 babies were given the name, the 1952nd most popular that year. It has declined since 2024; the 2025 figure is roughly 33% of its peak.

Half of all Suryas born in England and Wales are between 6 and 22, and there are at least 160 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 Surya - on average, only one in every 1,894 such rooms contains a Surya.

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.
