The news release made note of two names — Wieslawa (given to 2 baby girls) and Waclaw (given to 3 baby boys) — that were once quite popular, but today are “almost forgotten” (niemal zapomniane) in Poland.

P.S. The Polish letters L-with-a-stroke, Z-with-an-overdot, and S-with-an-accent don’t render properly on my site, so please imagine they exist in several of the above: the girl names Lucja, Róza, Jasmina, and Wieslawa, and the boy names Stanislaw, Mikolaj, Michal, Milosz, Waclaw.

Eiden on the boys’ list caught my attention, as Eiden was also mentioned in the SSA’s news release this year. It’s on the rise both in the U.S. and in Puerto Rico right now.

The person who wrote the news release theorized that the rise of Eiden was being fueled by Wisconsin-based influencer Wyatt Eiden. But the name’s increasing popularity in Puerto Rico — plus the fact that 40% of Eiden’s U.S. usage occurred in four states with large Spanish-speaking populations (TX, CA, NY, and FL) — makes me think the name is being used primarily among U.S.-based Latin Americans (who are probably not watching Wyatt Eiden’s English-language interview/trivia videos on TikTok).

(And now I’m thinking of a recent comment by alex, who noticed that “names that have seen some use in Caribbean Latin America for 20+ years” are starting to pop up in the U.S. data, and wondered if Venezuelan immigration might have something to do with it…)

In 2022, the top names in Puerto Rico were Valentina and Liam.

Finally, what were the most popular baby names in all the other U.S. territories (American Samoa, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands) combined last year? Olivia and Elijah.
