Latrell

Where Latrell comes from

Latrell 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. 1970
    Latrell Sprewell born
    American basketball player
  2. 1970
    First appearance
    #2,739 among boys, 12 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  3. 1980
    Mostly boys from here
    Until now more girls than boys got the name; from this year it's the other way round, and has stayed that way.

    Australian rugby league footballer
  5. 1999
    Peak, #636

    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #1,303.
