Grisel

Where Grisel comes from

Grisel 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. 1954
    First appearance
    #3,718 among girls, 10 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 1984
    Peak, #784
    204 babies named Grisel — more than any year before or since.
  3. 1985
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #1,948.
  4. 1989
    Grisel Margarita born
    Mexican actress
