Eren

Where Eren comes from

Eren 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

    First appearance
    #5,101 among boys, 5 babies — the first year at least five got the name.

    Until now more girls than boys got the name; from this year it's the other way round, and has stayed that way.
