City Hall recently unveiled Monaco’s civil statistics for the past year. Birth numbers went up slightly, while marriages and divorces went up considerably!
“Working closely with the population, the Civil Registry and Nationality Service assists citizens throughout their lives: births, marriages, deaths… every significant event for Monegasque citizens or foreign nationals born, married, or deceased in the Principality is recorded in registers – the oldest dating back to the 16th century!” says Monaco’s City Hall.
The Principality recorded 732 births in 2025, up slightly compared to the 721 babies born in 2024 (but much lower than the 804 births in 2023). Almost half of all babies were born to unmarried parents. Nearly all births took place at the Princess Grace Hospital.
In 2025, there were more boys (404) born than girls (328). (In 2024, boys were also in the majority.) Here is the list of Monaco’s top five baby names for each gender.
Most Popular Girl Names:

(In 2024, Rose was the most popular baby name for girls, along with Victoria, Emma, Louise, Angelina and Lina.)
Most Popular Boy Names:

(Last year, Jules was the number one baby name for boys, along with Léo, Lorenzo, Noah, Liam, Louis and Raphaël.)
Marriages (and divorces) on the rise…
While birth numbers remained relatively stable in Monaco, marriages went up in 2025. According to the latest civil registry figures, 202 couples were married in Monaco last year (up considerably from 176 in 2024).
Most unions involving Monegasque nationals were with international partners. Only four marriages joined two Monegasques.
The number of divorces also followed an upward trend, with 74 divorces in 2025, compared to 66 in 2024. The Principality recorded 543 deaths, more than 84% of which occurred in hospitals.
