Where did the baby name Trevira come from in 1973?

The name Trevira — not to be confused with the name Tareva — has appeared in the U.S. baby name data only once so far, in 1973:

  • 1975: unlisted
  • 1974: unlisted
  • 1973: 5 baby girls named Trevira [debut]
  • 1972: unlisted
  • 1971: unlisted

What inspired it?

Fabric!

Trevira polyester, like Qiana nylon, was one of the branded synthetic fabrics that became trendy during the 1970s.

Trevira was created in Germany in the late ’50s, and by the end of the ’60s could be seen in American retail advertisements that touted the arrival of “The Trevira Era.”

It seems that Trevira hit peak usage among consumers in the early-to-mid ’70s, when it was used to make 1970s fashion staples like flared-leg trousers.

Baby name story: Bitcoin

A baby boy born in Crimea last December — while Bitcoin prices were soaring — was named “Bitcoin” after the digital currency.

The boy’s father, 31-year-old Oleg from Simferopol, told reporters that “he and his wife owe their financial wellbeing to the spike in bitcoin’s value, and wanted to show their gratitude.”

Speaking of babies and bitcoin…the first baby “bought” by bitcoin (that is, the first baby born thanks to a fertility treatment cycle paid for in bitcoins) arrived in 2013 in California. I’m not sure what he/she was named, though.
