About Montana
Relaxed western place-name that still has some masculine punch, but be warned: this whole posse of similarly trendy names, like Sierra and Dakota, will soon ride toward the sunset.
As of October 2026, Montana ranked #1525 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #771 in 1995.
Editor's take: The name Montana is a boy's name of Spanish origin meaning "mountainous".
