About Alpha
Over 50 baby boys were named Alpha last year, along with eight baby girls. Expect a lifetime of "alpha male" jokes, which could prove daunting or confidence-building for your own little Alpha.
Alpha for girls#13298 US
The first letter of the Greek alphabet ande the brightest star in every constellation, this would make an interesting choice for a first daughter, though it does give off some spectral sci-fi reverberations--and references to the term "alpha male.".
Pronounced AL-fuh.
As of October 2026, Alpha ranked #2079 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #491 in 1882.
