About Other names
Some names resist tidy categories — blends of two traditions, rare imports from smaller language families, or names whose trail simply goes quiet somewhere in history. That's not a flaw; it's often what makes them distinctive. A name outside the major traditions tends to come with fewer associations attached, leaving more room for the person who carries it to define it.
Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
