Names that Peaked in 1888

Press is an uncommon masculine name that originated as an English surname. It likely derived from occupational roots, referring to someone who operated a press (such as a wine press, printing press, or cloth press). As a given name, Press emerged through the tradition of using family surnames as first names, a practice particularly popular in American naming culture. The name carries connotations of strength, precision, and perhaps journalistic associations through its connection to the printing press and news media. Press has never achieved widespread popularity as a first name, remaining distinctively rare. Its short, crisp sound and single-syllable structure give it a modern, minimalist appeal for those seeking an unconventional yet straightforward masculine name with professional undertones.
