About Essex
Sex doesn't belong in a baby name.
Essex for boys#4758 US
A rarely-used place name (probably because of the last three letters), Essex was the ancient kingdom of the East Saxons and is now a county in England. The singer David Essex used it as his stage surname, and reality TV couple JP and Ashley Rosenbaum used it for their daughter's name, though few have followed suit.
Pronounced ES-iks.
As of October 2026, Essex ranked #11507 in US births in 2023 SSA.
