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.

    There are also a few names that independently exist in different languages; i.e. one is not a translation of the other, such as “Yuri” in Russian and Japanese, or “Naomi” in Hebrew and Japanese. Similarly, the surname “Lee” in English is not related to “Lee” in East Asian languages like Chinese or Korean.

    (A sillier puzzle: Find names for which you get a different name by spelling it backwards, like “Ari” and “Ira” or “Linus” and “Sunil”. No, Utah Mormon names like “Nevaeh” don’t count, they do that sort of thing on purpose.)
