About BabyName.cc

BabyName.cc is a free reference of 2,000+ baby names from 49 origins. Each name has its meaning, origin, pronunciation, variant spellings, similar names and middle name ideas, and 29 lists group names by origin and theme.

How we write these pages

Name pages are drafted with the help of an AI language model and then checked before they are published:

• Automated checks. Every page must have a meaning, an origin from a fixed list of naming traditions, a pronunciation, and at least one concrete fact such as an etymology or a named historical bearer. Pages that make popularity or ranking claims without data are rejected.
• Variant spellings are only listed when they appear in US Social Security Administration baby-name records or in Wikidata's given-name entries, or already have a page here.
• Fact review. Origins, meanings and the people mentioned are reviewed against standard name references. Entries whose origin could not be established were removed rather than guessed.

Popularity figures, where shown, come from US Social Security Administration data and name the year they refer to.

Many names have more than one accepted origin or meaning, and sources disagree. We give the most widely cited interpretation. If you spot an error, please tell us through the contact page and we will correct it.

Who runs the site
