Baran

Where Baran comes from

Baran 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. 1999
    First appearance
    #9,912 among boys, 5 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 2015
    Peak, #5,999
    14 babies named Baran — more than any year before or since.
  3. 2019
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births.
  4. 2025
    Mostly girls from here
    Until now more boys than girls got the name; from this year it's the other way round, and has stayed that way.
