About Arizona
We usually think of place-names as a modern invention, but in fact Arizona ranked on the US Top 1000 from its inception in 1880 until 1911, when it vanished below the surface. It peaked at Number 510 in 1882, before Arizona became a state. One notorious vintage bearer: criminal "Ma" Barker, born Arizona Clark.
Arizona for girls#2156 US
This unusual and evocative southwestern place name was picked for his daughter by former Everclear frontman Art Alexakis. It popped up as a first name on the quirky Dr. Arizona Robbins, introduced on Grey's Anatomy in 2009, played by Jessica Capshaw.
Arizona for boys
This US state name has been rising slowly but steadily for girls over the last 30 years, but à la Dakota, it could easily be a male name too.
Pronounced air-uh-ZOH-nuh.
As of October 2026, Arizona ranked #2156 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #510 in 1882.
