Names that Peaked in 1910

  1. Almeta

    • Description:

      Almeta is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Almeda, which has Spanish roots meaning 'the table' or 'the plateau.' Alternatively, it could be related to the Greek name Althea, meaning 'healing.' Almeta has maintained a consistent but low profile in American naming history, experiencing modest popularity in the early 20th century but remaining relatively uncommon. The name has a vintage, melodic quality that combines the popular 'Al' prefix with a soft ending. In some Southern U.S. communities, Almeta has maintained usage through family naming traditions. Its rarity today gives it a distinctive quality for those seeking an uncommon vintage name.

  2. Mozella

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "drawn from the water"

    • Description:

      A feminine twist on Moses, with a bright, zippy feel.
  3. Ozell

    • Description:

      Ozell is a name with somewhat obscure origins that has been in use in the United States since at least the early 20th century. It appears most frequently as a masculine name, though it has occasionally been used for females as well. The etymology is not definitively documented, but it may represent a variant of Oswald (an Anglo-Saxon name meaning 'divine power') or possibly derive from a surname. Another theory suggests it could be related to other 'Oz-' names like Osborn or Osbert. Ozell Sutton (1925-2015), a notable civil rights leader, brought some recognition to this uncommon name. Usage records show Ozell appearing consistently but infrequently throughout the 20th century. The name has a distinctive sound with the strong 'O' beginning and the crisp 'zell' ending, making it both traditional yet uncommon.
  4. Rosia

    • Description:

      Rosia is a feminine name with Latin roots, likely derived from 'rosa' meaning 'rose,' the beloved flower symbolizing love and beauty. This melodic name can be considered a variant of Rosa or Rosie, with a slightly more elaborate sound. Throughout history, Rosia has appeared sporadically across different regions, particularly in Latin American and Southern European communities. The name carries a warm, romantic quality while remaining relatively uncommon in most English-speaking countries. For parents seeking a distinctive floral-inspired name that maintains classic origins but offers a unique twist, Rosia provides a beautiful alternative to more common rose-derived names.
  5. Corene

    • Description:

      Corene is a feminine name with Greek origins, likely a variation of Corinne, which derives from the ancient Greek city of Corinth. The name has a classic, somewhat vintage appeal with a soft, flowing sound. Corene was most popular in the United States during the early to mid-20th century, peaking around the 1920s-1940s. It carries connotations of elegance and refinement associated with its Greek heritage. The name has a delicate quality with its two syllables and gentle ending. Though less common today than in previous generations, Corene might appeal to parents seeking a feminine name with historical depth that isn't overly common. Its vintage character fits with the cyclical revival of early 20th-century names in modern naming trends.

  6. Reatha

    • Description:

      Reatha is a feminine name with American origins, emerging primarily in the early to mid-20th century. It likely developed as a variation of names like Ruth or Aretha, possibly influenced by the trend of creating distinctive names by adding prefixes or suffixes to traditional ones. The name has a melodic quality with its soft 'th' sound and ending vowel. Reatha experienced modest popularity in the United States between the 1910s and 1940s but has become increasingly uncommon since the 1960s. The name carries a vintage charm characteristic of its era, evoking associations with the strong, dignified women of earlier generations. Today, Reatha stands out as a distinctive choice that combines familiarity with uniqueness.

  7. Estell

    • Description:

      Estell is a feminine name that serves as a variant of Estelle, derived from Latin 'stella' meaning 'star'. This celestial connection gives the name a sense of brightness and aspiration. The single-L spelling creates a distinctive variation while maintaining the elegant sound of the original. Estell has an antique charm that appeals to those seeking vintage names with a slightly unique twist. While never among the most popular names, Estell enjoyed modest usage in the early 20th century before declining. It carries a quiet sophistication and brevity that distinguishes it from longer elaborations like Estella or Estrella while conveying the same starry symbolism.
