Ladarius

Where Ladarius comes from

Ladarius 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.

    First appearance
    #5,587 among boys, 5 babies — the first year at least five got the name.

  3. 1995
    Peak, #643
