Infant
About Infant
Infant as a feminine name is highly unusual and unconventional. Rather than functioning as a traditional given name, it appears to be either a placeholder name or possibly a translation error. Historically, 'Infant' or 'Infanta' was a title used for children of monarchs in Spanish and Portuguese royal families, particularly designating princesses who were not heirs to the throne. As an actual given name, Infant has virtually no established usage pattern in mainstream naming traditions. The word itself comes from Latin 'infans' meaning 'unable to speak' or 'child.' While unique names have become increasingly common, Infant remains extremely rare as a personal name choice and might present practical challenges for the bearer due to its primary definition referring to a baby or very young child.
Pronounced IN-funt.
As of October 2026, Infant ranked #12626 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #432 in 1990.
