Attica

Attica has not taken off as a baby name for girls the way Atticus has for boys partly because it's the name of an infamous prison in upstate New York where an deadly riot took place in 1971. Fewer than 5 baby girls were named Attica in the US in 2021, but half a century after the riots and with the rise of brother name Atticus, that well could change.

Attica Locke is a prize-winning American novelist. Attica is the region of Greece that includes Athens.

Pronounced AT-i-kuh.

As of October 2026, Attica ranked #15477 in US births in 2023 SSA, peaked at #7341 in 1972.
