Child Naming Law
Switzerland's approach to naming children is unique among countries. Unlike many nations where parents have broad freedom in naming their children, Swiss law prohibits names that might harm a child's future interests.
This law serves as a safeguard against potentially problematic or unconventional names, ensuring that children in Switzerland carry names that are both meaningful and conducive to their future success. The law reflects Switzerland's commitment to the well-being and future prospects of its youngest citizens, even extending to the choices parents make when naming their offspring.
