Somersault is a gymnastic word that no one ever considered as a baby name... until now.
 Meaning a heels-over-head jump, Somersault entered English via Old French, and is ultimately from Latin supra "over" + saltus "a leap".
 In 2025, it was revealed that the Australian singer Sia and her ex-husband Daniel Bernad had a daughter named Somersault Wonder, born in 2024. Even in a world where almost anything goes for celebrity babies, it feels like an extreme choice that other parents won't rush to copy. And yet, Somersault has its charms: it's fun, full of energy, and could be shortened to Summer to blend in.
