Baby names that re-emerged most impressively in the U.S. data, 1882 to today

young leaves

We know which names debuted most impressively in the U.S. baby name data, but what about the baby names that returned most impressively? That is, the names that re-emerged in the data (after an absence of at least one year) with the highest number of babies?

Below are the most popular re-emerging names for every single year on record, after the second.

Here’s the format: Girl names are on the left, boy names are on the right, and the numbers represent single-year usage (following an absence). In 1971, for instance, the girl name Devonia returned to the data with 22 babies, and the boy name Idris returned to the data with 21 babies.

Boy names on the rise in Canada in 2022

hot air balloons

Which names were the trendiest among baby boys in Canada last year?

Below you’ll find Canada’s fastest-rising and highest-debuting boy names of 2022.

Just keep in mind that we can’t directly compare rises and debuts in the Canadian data to rises and debuts in the U.S. data, because Canada releases a lot less data than the U.S. does. (For more details, see the post on Canada’s rising girl names.)

Rises (absolute)

Here are the boy names that saw the biggest increases in usage in terms of absolute change (numbers of babies) from 2021 to 2022:

  1. Robin, rose from 129 to 220 baby boys (+91)
  2. Walker, 238 to 300 (+62)
  3. Muhammad, 535 to 595 (+60)
  4. Casey, 153 to 206 (+53)
  5. Leon, 294 to 347 (+53)

I’m so intrigued by Robin! Anyone know why it got such a boost last year?

Rises (relative)

Here are the boy names that saw the biggest increases in usage in terms of relative change (percentages of babies) from 2021 to 2022:

  1. Mattheo, rose from 5 to 18 baby boys (260%)
  2. Shepherd, 9 to 28 (211%)
  3. Affan, 7 to 21 (200%)
  4. Ghaith, 5 to 15 (200%)
  5. Abdallah, 7 to 20 (1.86%)

Debuts

Finally, here are the boy names that debuted most impressively in Canada’s baby name data in 2022:

  1. Rabaab, 14 baby boys
  2. Navaan, 13
  3. Zoraver, 11
  4. Bir, 10
  5. Kabiel, 10
    • Kabiel was tied with Kyland and Valor, both of which were also given to 10 babies.

Other boy-name debuts included Dutton (9), Halston (8), Astro (7), Rip (6), and Laker (5).

Dutton and Rip were no doubt influenced by the TV series Yellowstone, which follows the wealthy, ranch-owning Dutton family of Montana. The foreman of the Duttons’ ranch is named Rip Wheeler. Both Dutton and Rip have been on the rise in the U.S. recently as well.

And if you’re curious about the decreases, Canada’s fastest-falling boy names in terms of absolute change were Logan, Benjamin, and Noah, and in terms of relative change were Bauer, Larry, and Eamon.

Boy names on the rise in the U.S. in 2022

Which boy names increased in usage the most from 2021 to 2022?

Here’s a table of the fastest-rising boy names of 2022. On the left are the top 25 increases in terms of absolute change (numbers of babies). On the right are the top 25 increases in terms of relative change (percentages of babies).

24Eithan324Jafeth229%
25Amir316Zimri229%

Walker, Theodore, and several others were also among the fastest-rising names (absolute change) in 2021.

A couple of possible explanations for the relative rises…

  • Maykel Osorbo is a rapper/activist from Cuba who was jailed in mid-2022.
  • Dutton is a surname from the TV series Yellowstone. (And Cayce is similar to Kayce, a forename from Yellowstone.)

If you can explain any of the other rises, please leave a comment!

Unique Girl NamesUnique Boy Names
Ahsoka, Bowyn, Cordova, Dutton, Eivissa, Fiadh, Galdina, Hanalie, Indira, Jinora, Ketsana, Levaleah, Metzli, Nebula, Odette, Peninaiaiga, Quinnie, Rockella, Sersha, Tallulah, Umi, Vrianna, Wren, Yadelene, ZeyaAxis, Beaudin, Codiak, Delmar, Elymus, Fletcher, Gibb, Herbert, Ilumi, Jonael, Kalais, Lesinali, Maimonides, Neithan, Ozan, Perrin, Ratu, Samarth, Tonalli, Usyk, Ville, Waimea, Xavien, Yamikani, Zabdiel

Some thoughts on a few of the above…

  • Ahsoka is a character from the Star Wars universe.
  • Dutton is the surname of the family featured on the TV show Yellowstone.
  • Sersha looks like a phonetic rendering of Saoirse.
  • Maimonides refers to Moses ben Maimon, a medieval Jewish philosopher.
  • Tonalli is a Nahuatl word that refers to the warmth of the sun (among other things).

The name Sonoma was also given to a single Sonoma County baby in 2021. :)

Finally, here are Sonoma’s 2020 rankings, if you’d like to compare.
