Ofc Mohammed is the most common name but thats a name common within the muslim community. I have noticed the name Sarah in every country, regardless of race or religion. Or it might be an abrahamic religion thing but thats most of the world atleast.

I suspect other Abrahamic names might make the cut.

Joseph/ Yousuf, Daniel/ Danyal. Again anything universal is Abrahamic just bc of what high proportion of the world is Christian/ Muslim/ Jew.

Iโ€™d assume Mary/Mariam/Maria is more common because there are fewer options for women

I find that Ana beats out Maria only because only the english spell it/pronounce it different (Hanna). Everyone else does Ana.

But Mary has an absurd higher usage.

Yep thats absolutely right. Elena too, behind Maria ofc.
