Frequently asked questions
Does 1 syllables mean 1 words?
No. A syllable is a beat of sound inside one word, as in Mohd. This list shows one-word names with 1 syllable, not 1-word names. For two-word names such as Nur Aisyah or Muhammad Adam, see two-word names.
How are syllables counted?
From the syllable break shown on each name page. Names without a syllable break are left out of this list.
How is this list ordered?
Names listed in the JPN tables for births in the 2010s come first, by registrations, then other names by their JPN figures across all decades and other records. Each name’s meaning has a source on its page.
