Popular baby names in Coconino County (Arizona), 2022

Flag of Arizona
Flag of Arizona

Coconino County in Arizona is the second-largest county in the continental United States. If it were a U.S. state, it would rank between West Virginia (#41) and Maryland (#42) in terms of total area.

Coconino contains a number of nationally protected places, including part of the Grand Canyon, but relatively few residents. Last year, it welcomed just 1,314 babies — less than 2% of all the babies born in Arizona.

What were the most popular names among these Coconino babies? Juniper and Liam.

Here are the county’s top 5 girl names and top 5+ boy names of 2022:

Girl Names

  1. Juniper
  2. Sophia
  3. Hailey
  4. Hazel
  5. Olivia

Boy Names

  1. Liam
  2. Oliver
  3. Asher, Kai, Logan, Mason, and Theodore (5-way tie)

I’m pleasantly surprised that Juniper happened to be the #1 girl name in the region. (No doubt the names at the top of these rankings were only separated by a baby or two, though.)

I wonder how many of the parents who opted for Juniper were inspired by the Utah Juniper, which is a small, wind-twisted tree native to the Southwest. The NPS describes junipers as having “a mystical quality. Each tree is like a fine work of art that one might find in a museum.”

Nationally, the name Juniper has been bounding up the charts over the last few years. In 2021, it was the 138th most popular girl name in the country, but a top-50 name in the following six states:

  • Wyoming (where Juniper ranked 14th)
  • Oregon (17th)
  • Montana (18th)
  • Vermont (18th)
  • Alaska (25th)
  • Idaho (32nd)

Speaking of states…

The Arizona Department of Health Services reports that these were top baby names state-wide in 2022:

Notably, Juniper and Hailey — the 1st and 3rd most popular girl names in Coconino County — only managed to rank 93rd and 99th across all of Arizona.

Popular baby names in Austin (Texas), 2017

Flag of Texas

A few days ago, I stumbled upon a set of baby name data for Austin, Texas, for the year 2017. While it isn’t current, it does seem to be complete — so it includes hundreds of rare and single-use names (which are always fascinating!).

The data accounts for nearly 19,900 births (9,733 girls and 10,163 boys), and features nearly 6,100 names (3,431 given to girls, 2,656 given to boys).

According to this data, which comes from the City of Austin’s Open Data Portal, the top baby names in the capital of Texas five years ago were Emma and James.

Here are Austin’s top 50 girl names and top 50 boy names of 2017:

On the girls’ list, Allison caught my eye. It ranked 26th in Austin in 2017, but 61st nationally the same year. Interesting.

Farther down on the boys’ list was Austin itself, in 95th place — vs. 75th nationally — with 21 baby boys. Much farther down was Texas, with 2 baby boys.

And now it’s time for the unique names!

One-of-a-kind names were given to 24% of the baby girls and 17% of the baby boys born in Austin in 2017. Here’s a sampling of the names that were bestowed just once:

Some possible explanations/associations for a few of the above:

  • Cadeau is the French word for “present, gift.”
  • Ceiba is a type of tree.
  • Tsumugi Shirogane is a character from the 2017 video game Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony.
  • Ynafets is “Stefany” spelled backwards.
  • Bruges is the capital of West Flanders (a province of Belgium).
  • Mistral is a strong late-winter wind in southern France.
  • The Rigveda is a sacred Hindu text.

I’ve never posted rankings for Austin before, but I have posted rankings recently for two nearby Texas cities: Houston (which is more than twice the size of Austin, population-wise) and College Station (which is about an eighth of the size of Austin).

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. :)
