Zennie

Where Zennie comes from

Zennie 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.

  • Vowel-ended
Along the way
  1. 1888
    Debut at its peak, #959
    #959 among girls with 8 babies — the first year it was published, and still its best.
  2. 1889
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births.
  3. 1949
    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.
