The data showed that Rafael is the most desired baby name associated with luck, with a whopping 3,160,411 people bearing this name worldwide.

Rafael has biblical connotations as well - being the name of the angel of healing.

Inbaal says, “It's a wonderful name to pick for a life of healthy living, healthy relationships and healthy decision-making. The feminine version is Rafaella.”

In second place is Victoria, with 2,626,923 people claiming this name worldwide, meaning ‘victory’ in English, descending from a Goddess of Roman mythology.

Lakshmi is in third place, with 2,570,558 people named after the Hindu goddess.
