About Swan
Obsolete Swanhild gives way to oh-so-modern Swan, joining the flock of newly fashionable bird names such as Wren and Lark. In France, the Swann spelling is fashionable for both sexes. But Swan carries an image of grace, though perhaps also a bit of languor. It's a lovely and original name, right for our times.
Pronounced SWON.
As of October 2026, Swan ranked #13805 in US births in 2014 SSA, peaked at #1099 in 1889.
Editor's take: The name Swan is a boy's name meaning "bird name".
