Dior

Where Dior comes from

Dior hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it 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. 1977
    First appearance
    #8,444 among girls, 6 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 1987
    Dior Lowhorn born
    American basketball player
  3. 1993
    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.
  4. 1994
    Dior Angus born
    English association football player
  5. 2020
    Peak, #499
    613 babies named Dior — more than any year before or since.
  6. 2024
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #978.
