Aquila

An evocative ancient word that's used as a first name in the New Testament, among other places. It's also the name of an eagle-shaped constellation.

That said, contemporary interest in the name Aquila probably stems from its use as the name of Facebook's secretive drone project. If that takes off, and its name doesn't change, Aquila could take a hit, like Siri and Alexa before it.

Pronounced ah-KEE-la, ah-QUEE-la.

As of October 2026, Aquila ranked #7713 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #5165 in 1977.
