Ofc Mohammed is the most common name but thats a name common within the muslim community. I have noticed the name Sarah in every country, regardless of race or religion. Or it might be an abrahamic religion thing but thats most of the world atleast.
I suspect other Abrahamic names might make the cut.
It also has the benefit of being one of the few names that arises in East Asian and European naming.
There are also a few names that independently exist in different languages; i.e. one is not a translation of the other, such as “Yuri” in Russian and Japanese, or “Naomi” in Hebrew and Japanese. Similarly, the surname “Lee” in English is not related to “Lee” in East Asian languages like Chinese or Korean.
