Auryn

Where Auryn comes from

Auryn hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 2009
    First appearance
    #12,491 among boys, 5 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 2013
    Peak, #6,603
    12 babies named Auryn — more than any year before or since.
  3. 2016
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births.
  4. 2020
    Mostly boys from here
    Until now more girls than boys got the name; from this year it's the other way round, and has stayed that way.
