Rigby
About Rigby
Rigby is a rather stiff British surname, which might call to mind the Beatles "Eleanor Rigby" or, from the recent past, Cathy Rigby, the first American woman to win a medal in World Gymnastics competition. The problem with Rigby may be its similarity to the word "rigid."
Pronounced RIG-bee.
As of October 2026, Rigby ranked #3829 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3495 in 2015.
Editor's take: The name Rigby is a boy's name of English origin meaning "ridge farm".
