Common German boy's names that start with H?

Favorite Answer

There are now no popular German male names starting with "H" in the top 30. There was "Heiko" in the 1960's, but it was considered "lower class".

You have to go back before WWII to find among the popular names Hans, Harry, Heinz, Hel(l)mut, Hel(l)muth, Herbert, Hermann and Horst. They fell out of favor after the war.
