Unknown Origin and Meaning

The name Unknown is a boy's name meaning "unfamiliar, not yet known".

Unknown was given to nearly 80 American babies in a recent year, but we can only hope they won't stay as such. Like Baby, Babyboy, and Infantmale, Unknown is probably used as a placeholder by parents who need to register their baby but haven't decided on a given name yet, whether because of cultural naming traditions or because of indecision.
