About Santa
Santa has an appealing sound, or maybe that's sleigh bells we hear? It's difficult to separate the Italian girls' name Santa from the association to Mr. Claus, king of Christmas. The German diminutive Senta -- or Snow or even Christmas -- might be an easier name to handle.
Pronounced SAHN-tuh.
As of October 2026, Santa ranked #8267 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #723 in 1915.
