Year after Oct. 7, Yahya saw biggest rise in popularity among baby names in UK
[IsraelTimes] In newly published 2024 figures, first name of former Hamas terror chief Yahya Sinwar, who masterminded onslaught that began the Gaza war, becomes 93rd most popular British boy’s name, up 33 spots from 2023

The first name of the slain architect of the October 7 massacre, Yahya Sinwar, leaped in popularity in the United Kingdom in 2024 more than any other boy’s name, data from the British Office for National Statistics revealed.

Yahya was ranked the 93rd most popular boy’s name in 2024, according to the ONS, with 583 babies born last year given the name.

The name’s place in the rankings marked a jump of 33 spots compared to 2023, the biggest increase for any name.

Muhammad remained in first place for the second straight year, with other spellings of that name — Mohammed and Mohammad — in 21st and 53rd place, respectively.

Notably, not a single child was named Keir, the first name of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who announced this week that Britannia will recognize a Paleostinian state next month if Israel does not reach a ceasefire with Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
and take steps to address the humanitarian crisis in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Despite the spike in the popularity of Yahya, there was no definite correlation between the increasing number of babies in Britannia with the name and Sinwar’s international notoriety after criminal masterminding the October 7, 2023, onslaught.

The massacre saw Hamas-led snuffies invade Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping 251 while committing widespread atrocities and sexual violence.

Sinwar spent 22 years in Israeli prison for his killings of suspected collaborators with Israel, which garnered him the nickname "The Butcher of Khan Younis."

He was released from Israeli prison in an exchange deal for IDF soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011, alongside more than 1,000 other terrorists.

He became the leader of Hamas in Gaza in 2017, and then the chairman of the terror group’s political bureau in 2024, in both cases succeeding Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continued as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintained a separate PM in the West Bank. Zapped during the 2023-24 war, to eveyone's satisfaction...
Sinwar was killed in a clash with IDF soldiers in Gaza in October 2024, after which his brother Muhammad took over as Hamas chief until being killed by an Israeli strike in May.
