  • Meaning
  • Origin
  • Pronunciation
  • Nicknames and spelling variants

Absence from this list does not mean the name isn't genuinely meaningful or widely used — only that Namewise hasn't sourced and reviewed that content yet. Absence from a specific year or geography above does not prove zero use there either; official statistics only publish names above a minimum threshold.

Official popularity data is available for 5 regions, from 1964 to 2025. Highest recorded position: #224 in Northern Ireland in 2011. Source data last verified 2026-07-21.
