Soledad

Where Soledad comes from

Soledad 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
    #1,700 among girls, 5 babies — the first year at least five got the name.

    54 babies named Soledad — more than any year before or since.
  3. 1932
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #1,685.
  4. 1943
    Soledad Miranda born
    Spanish actress
  5. 1980
    Soledad Pastorutti born
    Argentine folk singer
