  • Hazen comes from the Dutch surname Hazen, which was based on the Middle Dutch word hase, meaning “hare.”
  • Kaizen, Kaiyzen
  • Kyzen
  • Mazen

Interesting one-hit wonder names in the U.S. baby name data

single flower

They came, they went, and they never came back!

These baby names are one-hit wonders in the U.S. baby name data. That is, they’ve only popped up once, ever, in the entire dataset of U.S. baby names (which accounts for all names given to at least 5 U.S. babies per year since 1880).

There are thousands of one-hit wonders in the dataset, but the names below have interesting stories behind their single appearance, so these are the one-hits I’m writing specific posts about. Just click on a name to read more.

Semi-mystery baby name: Rosezena

Graph of the usage of the baby name Rosezena in the U.S. since 1880
Usage of the baby name Rosezena

The curious baby name Rosezena was one-hit wonder smack-dab in the middle of the 20th century:

  • 1952: unlisted
  • 1951: unlisted
  • 1950: 6 baby girls named Rosezena [debut]
  • 1949: unlisted
  • 1948: unlisted

This might be random…or it might have a specific cause.

And if there’s a cause, I’m wondering if it wasn’t a woman named RoseZena Latta. She was a singer whose performances (often in Oregon) were mentioned in the local newspapers from the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s. According to one family tree (which isn’t online anymore, unfortunately) her mother’s name was Zena Rose, which explains the origin of her name.

I’m not sure about this theory, though, so I’m putting out there in the hope that some mid-century RoseZenas stop by and tell me where their names came from…
