River Origin and Meaning
The name River is a girl's name of English origin.
Most of the notable Rivers have been male, but this nature name certainly flows as well for a girl. The name River is still rising for both genders, with about 3500 baby boys receiving the name last year vs. 1900 baby girls.
Kelly Clarkson's choice of River for her newborn daughter further raised the profile of the name for girls. Baseball great Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis used the same name as Clarkson for their daughter born in 2021, River Rose.
