About American names
American naming has always been inventive. It gave the world surname-first-names like Madison and Harper, place names like Savannah and Dakota, and freshly built coinages that follow the sounds of the moment. Without centuries of fixed custom to answer to, American names tend to prize individuality — a tradition, in its own way, of not being too bound by tradition.
Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
