Boy names

3,715 boy names (unisex names included), ordered by how common they are in official JPN data and other records. Narrow down by category or first letter.

This list covers Malay, Chinese, Indian and Western names used for boy babies in Malaysia, plus unisex names that suit both genders. Names are ordered by the JPN name-popularity data on data.gov.my (the top 10 for each sex in each decade’s JPN table): names common in the 2010s first, then the total across all decades, then other records, so the names at the top are the most common in that data, not recommendations. Each name has a page with its sourced meaning, language of origin, other spellings and sources. For what has been reported about names accepted at registration, read the JPN name registration rules; for Islamic names, see the guide to choosing an Islamic name and the list of Arabic-origin boy names.
