Tavares

Where Tavares comes from

Tavares 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. 1974
    First appearance
    #1,065 among boys, 60 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 1976
    Peak, #634
    168 babies named Tavares — more than any year before or since.
  3. 1985
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #1,228.
In the dictionary

No dictionary entry for this spelling — which is its own kind of rare.

Namesakes

No widely known Tavares turns up in the encyclopedias yet — the name is still all theirs to make famous.
