Glenn
2025 SSA
About Glenn
Glenn appealed to a lot of post-World War II parents for its cool, leafy image, also calling up the Big Band sounds of Glenn Miller and the calm, composed image of actor Glenn Ford, whose name at birth was the Welsh Gwyllyn. It could possible be in line for a comeback in the more nature-evoking spelling of Glen, as used by Glen Campbell, or possibly even the Welsh Glyn.
Pronounced GLEN.
As of October 2026, Glenn ranked #1443 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #55 in 1962.
