Below are the most common given names for Taiwanese, as of June 2016. For the numbers of people with any of these given names, see the graph below. Note that there are more Taiwanese with even the tenth-most-popular name for girls than the most popular name for boys. <\/p>\n

If you would like a chart of such names for Taiwanese in their twenties and thirties (specifically, those born 1976–1994), see Common Taiwanese given names<\/a>. For the most common family<\/em> names in Taiwan, see Taiwan personal names: a frequency list<\/a>. <\/p>\n
