Asian

Asian is an uncommon feminine name that emerged in the late 20th century. While identical in spelling to the word describing people or items from Asia, as a given name it may have developed independently or been chosen specifically for its geographical association. Some parents might select this name to honor Asian heritage or create a connection to the culturally rich continent. The name has a pleasant phonetic quality when pronounced as 'AY-zhun' or 'AY-see-an.' However, its usage remains extremely rare, likely due to potential confusion with the geographical adjective. For families with meaningful connections to Asian cultures or ancestry, the name might serve as a distinctive identifier carrying personal significance, though it may require occasional clarification in social settings.

Asian is also given to boys.

Pronounced AY-zhun.

As of October 2026, Asian ranked #13652 for girls in US births in 1993 and #8206 for boys in US births in 1997 SSA, peaked at #11641 for girls in 1991.
