About Soul
A charming addition to the ever-growing crop of virtue names, Soul feels spiritual, musical, and strong. Similar in sound to Sol, Sully, Solomon, Saul, and Cole, it is a distinctive choice that doesn't feel over the top when said aloud. Given to 61 boys (and 47 girls) in a recent year, it is a rising choice in the US.
Pronounced SOLE.
As of October 2026, Soul ranked #2358 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2315 in 2022.
