Paz

Where Paz comes from

Paz hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on 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. 1915
    First appearance
    #3,795 among girls, 6 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 1916
    Peak, #2,368
    13 babies named Paz — more than any year before or since.
  3. 1917
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births.
  4. 2006
    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.
