Sunday

Day name, English from Latin

"day of the Sun"

Sunday Origin and Meaning

The name Sunday is a girl's name meaning "day of the Sun".

Sunday is among the most usable of the day names, with its sunny opening syllable, initially made famous when Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban chose it for their daughter. Although it had been widely written that Kidman and Urban named their baby after art patron Sunday Reed, Kidman was quoted saying that was a myth, they just liked the name.

More recently, Sunday was chosen by influencer Savannah LaBrant for her daughter, a sister to Everleigh, Posie, and Zealand.

Currently, Sunday is the second most popular English day name. It closely follows Wednesday, which was boosted when actor Rupert Grint used it for his daughter.

Sunday carries subtle spiritual connotations, being the day of rest in Christianity. It's a rising choice among modern Christian baby names.
