About French
A mash-up of popular name trends, French is all at once a place name, word name, and surname name. It's evocative of a favorite celebrity baby name fad of using nationalities as names as opposed to places, as in Mariah Carey's Moroccan.
French for boys
Actor French Stewart introduced this one to the lexicon. French is part word name, part place name, and part surname-name, reminiscent of celebrity baby names that reference a nationality rather than simply a place, such as Moroccan.
Pronounced FRENCH.
As of November 2026, French ranked #5261 for girls in US births in 1920 and #8146 for boys in US births in 1999 SSA, peaked at #5102 for girls in 1918 and #534 for boys in 1891.
