The Social Security Administration releases the annual baby names list each year ahead of Mother's Day.

"Happy Mother's Day to all the exceptional mothers who inspire us and guide future generations," Social Security Commissioner Frank J.

"As Mother's Day draws closer, I find myself reflecting on the unwavering care, courage, and commitment my own mother instilled in my siblings and me as the glue that held our family together."

Beyond the top names, the agency also highlighted the fastest-rising names of the year.

For boys, Kasai saw the biggest jump in popularity, climbing 1,108 spots to break into the top 1,000 names for the first time at No. 639. The name means "fire" in both Japanese and Swahili, according to the Social Security Administration.

For girls, Klarity, an alternative spelling of "clarity," was the fastest-rising name.
